Sonam, a junior at Newton High school, moved to the US from Nepal 2 years ago. Since moving here, she has an active role in the Tibetan Community School as the Student Captain and is interested in learning more about Tibetan History. Her favorite part about the Tibetan School is how the Tibetan culture is is being preserved and will hopefully spread to other countries.
Besides reading and basketball, Sonam also enjoys cooking Tibetan food. Her future goal is to become a nurse so that she can help those in need.
