My name is Elizabeth Rechin and I am a freshman. I have two sisters, Sophia who is 20 and Margot who is 14. I am studying architecture and I am thinking of a minor in art. I am from the Westside of Cleveland, Ohio where I went to Saint Jospeh Academy for high school. In high school I was on the soccer and basketball teams. My favorite hobbies are playing soccer, painting, drawing, hiking, eating ice cream, and traveling. One of the biggest parts of my life has always been my Greek culture. Another one of my favorite hobbies is Greek dancing! I go to a Greek Orthodox Church in Cleveland where I have been heavily involved in the church’s youth group all throughout high school where we volunteered at the church, in the community, played basketball and had Greek dances together. There have also been many opportunities from my church to be involved in my Greek culture by traveling to Greece, which I did in summer 2016. This trip really sparked my love for traveling and led me to apply for this London trip. However, the trip that sparked my love for architecture was my trip to Spain in 2018. We went to several cities in Spain and the architecture in these cities are what made me so interested in pursuing architecture.
