I am majoring in Asian Studies, but want to go into medicine after I graduate. My hobbies include drawing, reading, and watching tv. I have spent two years learning Chinese but have yet to travel to Asia. As a result, I am very excited to be going to Nanjing this summer.

English translation: My name is Kathryn Wallace. I grew up in Florida, and now I am studying at Rice University. Although my major is bioengineering, I have taken two years of Chinese classes. I chose to study Chinese because my grandfather can speak a little bit of Chinese and I wanted to be able to speak with him using Chinese. This year with my Chinese classmates, I will be travelling to Nanjing to learn even more Chinese. Once I return to the United States, I plan to continue to learn Chinese next fall in Chinese 401.
