INTERNATIONOMS
BY: BRENDA,YURI, TATIANA
One of the best parts about being a dormer is the cultural exchange. And what better way to share culture than through food? International dorm dinner is a special day in which dormers have the choice to make a dish that represents their heritage. From Hispanic to Asian to European, all dishes are made by the students. This years dinner stood out the most from other years because there were many new students who had not participated before. This year “there was a lot of food and it was all eaten. And thankfully there were no leftovers,” as Ms. Taffe proudly shares.
The quality of the dinner is entirely determined by the students. For example, there have been problems in the past where not a lot of dormers participated so there was a limited amount of food, or when dishes came out badly. Alondra Manriquez, a junior who has lived in the dorms for three years now adds, “It is the best dinner so far because a lot of people participated, there was a lot more food, it was more organized and everyone seemed very proud of their dishes.” A few of the dishes made were by Vivian Chuang, a sophomore from Taiwan and her friend Leyan Zhai. They were thoughtful enough to make make six different dishes that were all delicious. Emilio Coppola (9) from Mexico also shared a spicy but tasty salsa with the group. Hungarian exchange student Gergo Tibold (11) made a dish called Lángos, which is

fried dough eaten with various garnishes. He describes this experience as meaningful and “fun because I got to share a little bit of Hungary with my friends.” He continues by adding, “it also made me happy because everyone loved it.” It is little things like this that make being a dormer so much more fun and interesting.
International dinner is only held once a year so it is something that everybody takes advantage of. This years dinner was like no other in the past thanks to the creativity, collaboration, and deliciousness!
