Interview with Maya Shen - 11th grade international student
By: Aa Gonzales, VVS '16
As I sat beside Maya Shen during Higher Level Anthropology, we exchanged a few questions with each other. Through this conversation, I got to know her a little bit better and so will you.
A hardworking and lovely girl came all the way from Suzhou, China to Verde Valley school. She embarked on a long journey. Her journey consisted of maneuvering her way through the VVS life and classes. Maya, a junior (11th grade) felt that "people here at VVS are very nice. Most of the teachers and students help me a lot. I'm very excited about horseback riding." She currently spends her time during Sports by participating in Horseback Riding and Physical Improv. In her free time, besides taking part in the rigorous International Baccalaureate Program, she reads books, listens to music, and watches movies. Lastly, Maya Shen misses her family and the food back home in China the most.
