Hi everyone, I'm Aastha, and my nickname is Ash. I am a freshman here at BSC, and I plan to major in Biology and maybe in Computer Science too. I am a Biology nerd, and I love to code. With biology in mind, I would like to become a Nurse Practioner, and Computer Science is something I am curious to learn. I have been learning about it since grade 5, and I have been looking to merge both the fields to find what I want to do later in life. One reason I took this class is to see the different branches of biology, especially epidemiology, hoping to gain some insight into the uses of biology in the real world.
I am from Nepal, and I came here for my education last year. For those who don't know, my country is nestled between India and China. A big part of my country is the Himalayas, and we also have the Mt. Everest. One cool thing about my country is that we are the only country with a flag that has two triangles instead of a standard rectangle.
If money and time were not an object, I would love to travel across Japan. I have been fascinated by the culture and traditions of the Japanese. Their work ethic is something I admire too. But I would go to the rural part of Japan rather than to the bustling city of Tokyo. One of my wishes is to retire in Japan when I become old.
