Luaceu Cruz

📍 Brazil
📘 Child Development
🎓 First Year

First off, I love playing volleyball. Tennis is another sport that I love (not really good at but I’m trying my best to improve) and I’m also really into pickleball. But that's not all! Staying fit and healthy is important to me, especially with the demands of college life. So I make sure to hit the gym regularly. And when summer rolls around, I'm all about exploring amazing swimming spots and going for hiking. Of course, I also enjoy some downtime watching my favorite TV shows. It's the perfect way to relax and recharge before diving into my next adventure.

I’ve always had a love for cooking but in contrast one of the most important things for me is to be fit and work out. People might refer to me as mad max at times because of the things I do but yes driving fast is definitely the one that gets my heart pumping.

I enjoy swimming in both wavy beaches and calm water because it helps me relax and feel refreshed. I am always up to travel around the world as it opens up new places and cultures to explore.

Duomiao Zhao

📍 China
📘 Mathematics
🎓 Second Year

I like to sit on a park bench and think, feel the peace and harmony of nature, and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. I also like walking along the beach at sunset and recording the perfect moment. Books are the ladder of human progress, so I love reading and learning valuable knowledge and life experiences.
