Hello fellow Glimpsers!
My name is Sophia Tran and I am an upcoming senior at Andrew Hill High School in San Jose, California. I am currently 16 years old (but am turning 17 soon during our trip!) and am super excited to spend this unique two-week experience with all of you! I actually know a handful of people on this trip because they also go to my school, but I can’t wait to get to know the rest of you. (I might come off as a bit shy at first, haha sorry!) When I’m not caught up with school work, I enjoy reading, drawing/painting, and swimming. I have taken three years of Spanish and in those three years I have discovered that I can read Spanish better than I can speak it. Hopefully my Spanish-speaking skills will improve during this trip so I can impress my Spanish teacher when school begins. I enjoy traveling to new places and have traveled to the Philippines & Singapore. There’s something about traveling that really broadens my mind and gives me the feeling that anything is possible, which is probably why I enjoy it so much.
On this trip, I am most excited about two things: the scenery & FOOD! I have only been viewing Guaranda’s beautiful scenery through a picture on a screen, and now I am ready to experience it all first-hand for myself. When it comes to food, I am very adventurous and will try anything at least once. Oh and have I mentioned I like dogs? (oops, I don’t mean eating them) Here’s a picture of me and my two doggies! Their names are Pluto and Mars.
Can’t wait to experience what Ecuador has to offer. See you all soon!
Hello Sophia. We miss you. Pluto says hi & Mars didn’t even realize that you are away. ?
I hope you are having a good time. We’ll be celebrating Daddy’s Birthday today, which reminds me that yours is coming up soon. Hopefully you’ll get to have some sort of celebration over there.
Much love,
Mommy
