Today our guest was Berna Amet, a prospective medical student studying at UC Berkeley. Follow the talk as we journey through her life in high school on her way to university and the challenges she faced and how she overcame them, including the importance of activities beyond the classroom. We explore many exciting topics about Uyghur people growing up in America vs. Veten. The challenges of building personal relationships, creating mutual understanding, and building a bridge must mean more than to be "Uyghur" by birth. We look at the difference in opinion of thought of Uyghur born here vs. back home. She tells of her memories of studying in Kashgar and her family's profound influence on her goals. Lastly, we talk in-depth about acting in theater, performing in front of live audiences, and how it shapes our character more than we know.Get in touch with Berna:IG: @bernaametFacebook: Berna AmetGet in touch with MirMiring:IG: @mirmiringpodcastTwitter: @mirmiringEmail: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mirmiring/
