Ioana C. Munteanu ’13 explains how her dreams have come true with the help of donors
I am a sophomore at Lake Forest College. I am the recipient of The Courtney Doherty Wright ’88 La Magnifique Vie Franςaise Scholarship, and I just wanted to say how very grateful I am for the support that has helped me continue my education at Lake Forest College.
I am originally from Romania, but now I live with my family in Highland Park, Illinois. I had chosen to come to Lake Forest because it offered me the attention I wanted from professors, a diverse community and the opportunity to become whatever I wanted to be. So far, I’ve had a fabulous first year which enabled me to spend the first semester of my sophomore year in Paris.
In Ioana’s words:
I am certain I accomplished my goal while I was in this wonderful city of lights, and I cannot thank the donors enough for helping me make my dreams come true.
During my freshman year, I was able to continue my life-long affair with the French language and culture. At Lake Forest College I took advanced French courses, got involved with the French Club and, inevitably, I chose French as my major. I traveled to Paris with the goal of finally mastering this language which I’ve loved for so long. I am certain I accomplished my goal while I was in this wonderful city of lights, and I cannot thank the donors enough for helping me make my dreams come true.
