Meet Aisha, a 21-year-old international student from India studying Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Having adapted to life in Canada, she feels a mix of excitement and homesickness as she explores new opportunities. Currently unable to return home due to travel restrictions, she's focusing on her studies and maintaining a modest collection of local souvenirs instead of expanding it during her time away. Aisha appreciates the kindness of fellow students but is prioritizing her academic goals for now.
