Sharestha Drall

Hometown: My deepest darkest secret is that I was born in Michigan. However, I moved when I was four and went down to NY. I would say that I had the pleasure of having two hometowns. The one I spent the most time in is a city called Yonkers which is in NY and, despite what everyone back home thinks, itโ€™s right outside Manhattan (20 minutes away really) and about 10 minutes away from the Bronx. It was a lovely and supremely diverse community. My other hometown was one I would visit every year or other year for a few months and that would be the little village of Tikri Kalan in New Delhi, India. All of my family lives there and I would spend my days learning Hindi as well as Indian culture from them.

Major: Double major in neuroscience and classics (hoping to do a combined honours), third year.

Proudest achievement to date: Escaping my house. Iโ€™ve met some amazing people and have had many wonderful experiences since Iโ€™ve pulled off that escapade.

Next big thing she wants to achieve: My life goal is to become a doctor. Specifically, I wish to become a neuro or trauma surgeon and work in a non-profit like Doctors Without Borders. Or I would like to work for the US military (Iโ€™m a US citizen if that wasnโ€™t clear) as a medic so I can help people in war-torn or impoverished areas. I guess my biggest dream, however, is to open up free or low-profit health clinics in countries like India or Pakistan to provide for sick people who canโ€™t afford treatment for simple or complex illnesses. A dollar or two in Canada could provide cough medicine and some food to people there. Itโ€™s my dream that I aspire to everyday.

Favourite pizza flavour: Iโ€™m from New York so Iโ€™m tremendously picky about pizza. Itโ€™s one of the first things I start missing whenever I come here. I love margherita pizza or anything with explosive tomato flavors. I also like mushrooms on my pizza. But really, the best pizza is simplicity based in my opinion. Anything with worthwhile ingredients and a loving hand is really the best.

From a friend: โ€œShe is pursuing a double major in neuroscience and classics and is one of the hardest working people I know. Her life is never one that can be considered easy, but regardless of that she is always trying to spread laughter and joy.โ€ -Robert Lee
