Hi-

I am interested in studying Asian languages and literature. I grew up in Ohio (and am Thai-American) but have lived for 3 years in Thailand and traveled in Asia. I speak native household Thai and Khmer because of my mother’s family. I have not attended college after I graduated from my Ohio high school 1 year early.

My work and opportunities and Thailand and Asia have been great but I know wont last forever. I would like to attend college in the USA in fall 2017. I’m most interested in Thai and other Asian language and literature. I don’t know what I want to do as a profession, maybe writing or working in film?

On another forum, it was suggested that I consider Macalester College. Any thoughts as to how I would fit in? Any advice of Asian languages and literature? I haven’t studied for 3 years, so I have lots to learn!
