Hello, everyone! My name is Ana, I am an English major, and I am a transfer student from Southwestern College. I’m technically in my junior year here at SDSU, but this is my second semester here. I was born in the Philippines but moved to San Diego with my family when I was 10 years old. I live in the South Bay area of San Diego, super close to the city of Imperial Beach, so it’s quite a commute from there to this campus.

Because I’ve never lived in a place where a beach wasn’t too far away, mermaids had (and will always have) my heart since I was a kid (can you guess what my favorite Disney movie was and still is?). Since hearing about this class, I practically jumped at the opportunity to take it. Mermaids and literature? That’s two of my favorite things in the world! Can you tell I’m excited to take this class and see what the semester brings?
