Thihini Rachel Nagendran

About Me

Hello my name is Thihini (but I also go by Rachel) and I am based in Atlanta, GA. I am 17 years old and my favorite color is pink. I am able to speak two languages fluently: Sinhala (my native language) and English being the second. I started attending Drew Charter School in the seventh grade and intend to complete the remainder of my high school years and graduate from this school. I am an ambitious, hardworking, and dedicated individual. I value giving back to the community and making a difference in the lives of those around me by volunteering. I will be graduating from high school in 2025.

"Greetings from Sri Lanka"

I was born in Sri Lanka, a beautiful island in Asia and I moved to the US in 2016 with my family. I enjoy learning about different cultures and languages, therefore I would love to travel the world in the near future and expose myself to different parts of the world.
