- Title
- Interview of Clara (Pseudonym)
- Description
- This interview between Nicholas Sanzone and Clara [pseudonym] explores Clara’s experiences as a Chinese resident in the United States on a Student Visa. She talks about her first sixteen years in China before taking two trips to the United States, in 2012. Both trips left a deep impression on her; especially about what Westerners think. She recollects the process of coming to the United States, what her Undergraduates school was like at Emory University and John’s Hopkins University, and the work or internship opportunities she took on after earning her degree. She explored a variety of fields in her time here from 2014-2020. Her main reason for coming to the United States was for education and a new world which she reflects upon. Later, she returned to China in 2020 and began teaching in her community. She and most of her family still reside in China today.
