00:01 Hi, my name is Anchita Fnu I am 17 years old. Today is 23 September. I'm speaking with who is my classmate. We are recording in city tech.
00:19 Okay. Did you do anything during the first day of school?
00:27 Not really. I was, like, really nervous about my school because I'm gonna tell about my school back in Australia. So I used to go to this really christian, strict sort of school, and it was like a very first experience, so I did not have time. I did not have time to do anything much.
00:49 How was the christian school like?
00:54 It was very weird. It was very unlike other schools, especially in. Over here in Manhattan. And, yeah, we used to have all the nice walking around. We used to have really weird uniforms.
01:14 Okay, can you tell me about someone who had a big influence on your life?
01:21 Someone had a big influence in my life. Probably be my dad. I mean, I've seen him, like, success over his life, so I think I kind of would take him as a big influence in my life.
01:35 Would you tell me about some of the most important lessons that person taught you?
01:45 Well, many people taught me this, and also I kind of learned it from life that I should probably give. I should probably have a lot more patience and should not run behind a lot of things.
02:03 Can you describe one of your happiest memories? Could be from anywhere.
02:09 It was like back in India when I used to live with my whole entire family and with my cousin's siblings. That was the most happiest memory.
02:25 What was the streets like in India?
02:28 It was really dirty, but it's fine. It gave me homely vibes. I liked it.
02:39 Anything fun in India?
02:45 Yeah. I said I used to live with my family, but unlike here, I live kind of alone. So, yeah, that was the happiest memory. That was the fun thing I could have.
02:58 Interesting. Okay, yeah, it's done now.
