Erica from Indonesia

Hometown: Jakarta, Indonesia

Passion: Baking and snacking on sweet treats.

Favorite food in the dining hall: The quesadillas and the brownies!

Goals for the summer: I came to Taft to be better prepared for the upcoming school year and to experience something new and different from the environment back home.

First impression: The school is beautiful and the teachers, as well as the students, were nice and friendly.

Favorite teachers: Ms. Piacenza and Mr. Rosen. Both are extremely welcoming teachers who guided us every step of the way and balanced learning and fun in their classes.

Favorite coach: Ms. Evans. She did workouts with all the girls in fitness and would blast loud music to motivate us.

Favorite memory: I remember the hours just before the dance and the formal dinner, where all the girls in my dorm were rushing to get ready together.
