<p>Laura Plata is a rising sophomore at Yale University. She is the first in her family to attend college and will soon be the first to study abroad as well. Laura is currently undecided as to what her major will be, but she is interested in race and migration, international development, and socioeconomic inequality. Laura&rsquo;s interest in French stems from a growing interest in refugee studies and immigration both within the U.S context and abroad. Two things she lives by are to always have dessert before dinner and to never end the day without feeling grateful.</p>
