Hi everyone! My name is Ariel and I am from Cuiabá, Brazil! For this past year, I have been studying in the U.S.! I part of the Phillips Academy class of '16. I love arts (especially ceramics and contemporary art) and philosophy, so if you are interested in anything like that, we will be best friends in no time! If you are not, don't worry; we will still be best friends. I know some good Brazilian recipes, in case any of you are interested (disclaimer: I am a horrible cooker, but well, we can learn together). I'll be studying at Bates College next year. Also, I know this may come as a surprise, but I am funny. Sometimes. Look forward to meeting new people!
