Walter mobility and success might be obtained through hard work alone—might be reconsidered and reshaped through a critical assessment of the contemporary moment, looking specifically at new modes of consumerism, well-being, and technology.”

She writes, “I have designed a program rooted in the multidisciplinary field of American popular culture, with a specific focus on technology and social media. My program’s central question asks how understanding older discourses about the American Dream— that suggest economic in July.

She writes, “My sixth grade world’s fair project was about Nepal. As a requirement of that project, I had to interview someone that had traveled there, and through that assignment I became involved with Unatti Foundation, a home for girls in Nepal. 13 years after graduating from Village School, I still travel to Nepal annually, and my mom is even on the board of directors now.

“I spent two months at the beginning of 2020 in Nepal researching and developing a sexual and reproductive health rights program to educate girls and boys in Nepal about menstrual health to break the stigma around menstruation. The research took place in rural villages to determine the best, least intrusive ways to provide education on these important topics, while also respecting the deeply engrained traditions and cultures. We also held a three-day trial workshop with local children to educate them about their rights and their bodies, as well as help understand the best ways to hold future workshops like this in Nepal. Today, our team in Nepal, along with the help of the girls living in Unatti Home, travel to rural schools to continue these education workshops, handout sanitary supplies, and answer questions for young boys and girls. None of this would have been possible had I not been assigned Nepal for my Village School world’s fair project.”
