My name is Naomi Marroquin. I am a third-year Interdisciplinary Studies major focusing on Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Sociology. I’ve been on the school’s rowing team for a year now (I walked on the team last year as a sophomore). I am interested in this topic because I have always been intrigued by Italian culture and I want to travel to Italy sometime so I thought this class would offer some good insight before actually going there. I am also an immigrant myself, I moved from Ensenada B.C. to San Diego in the 8th grade. This migration experience came as a culture shock to me and I had to go through a huge adaptation process.
