Hello !
My name is Sumire Maki and I am an undeclared first year undergraduate at American University.
I am originally from Japan but considering the fact that I have lived in the USA for the most of my life, I identify as a proud Japanese American.
Quincy MA is where I call home but I usually will say that I'm from Boston to skip the tedious explanation.
As a first time participant in the Alternative Breaks program, social justice is quite a new realm for me. However, I am ecstatic to learn more about education, especially with Myanmar as its background.
Besides education, my interests extend to disabled rights, intercultural communications, photography and dancing.
My hope is that this trip will somehow be applicable to the community back at the AU and DC area.
