Natsumi Sasabe from Tokyo, Japan: Majoring in Theatre Arts at SUNY Genesee Community College (GCC)
Why did you decide to study in the USA?
I have been fascinated by musical theatre and dancing. I love to perform in front of an audience and express myself. I was not good at stating my opinion with words, so for me, dancing was my way of communicating with people. During my senior year in high school, I started to think about my next step, and I realized there were only a few universities that offered performing arts program in my country.
