5. Do you think Seattle Central is helping you achieve your goals? Why or why not?
Seattle Central is definitely helping me to get to know a lot of people with different backgrounds. This will be helpful for my career and also in my private life.

6. How would you describe Seattle?
Seattle has beautiful landscapes and has people from a variety of cultures living in it.

7. How would you describe Seattle Central Community College?
Seattle Central Community College is a bit like the city itself-a melting pot! Colorful with all those differences.

8. What are the biggest differences between life in your country and life in Seattle?
I think every country is different from each other. Sometimes those differences make someone fall into a culture shock. That's how I felt when I first came here. The first difference I notice is the space people want to have here. I think Seattle has a lot of different cultures melted together and sometimes it is just difficult to adapt to all of them.
