Anecdote story: Rena Ketelsen
Determined is a word that describes Rena Ketelsen well. If it wasn’t for how determined she was she wouldn’t be here in America this semester. Coming to America for college is already a major ordeal for international students but coming during the time of Covid-19 is even harder. But Rena was determined to make it back to America for her Sophomore year of college. “I made so many friends in America and I really wanted to be able to come back and see them all again.” Rena said when asked about why she was so set on coming back.
More on the “how,” Nathanael. How did she get here? What did she have to overcome? OK on the quote.
