Article on a recently arrived Immigrant

Everybody, say hello to Ms. Anna Granganino. She has recently arrived from Italy to America to study at UCLA. She is very excited to be here in America, especially California and Hollywood! She is 21 years old and is originally from Venice, Italy. She is studying business communication and public relations. Her ultimate career goal is to become involved in the business aspect of the fashion culture of Italy working with a major fashion designer. She is a tall brunette with deep brown eyes. She tells me her favorite food is still her mother’s spaghetti; however she admits she’s developing a taste for In-n-Out burgers. Don’t we all share that guilty pleasure with her? Unlike the wild Italian party girls shown on MTV’s “Jersey Shore”, Ms. Granganino is not a party animal in fact, she does not like to go to a club. She prefers long walks on the beach and reading books. What she does share with the Jersey girls is their love of tanning. Anna is obsessed with achieving the perfect tan; she admits that she has spent hundreds of dollars on spray tans and tanning lotions. She also likes to be kept in good shape and works out at the gym for 3 hours every day. I wish I had her endurance! Anna also confesses to me that her secret talent is her excellent cooking skills. Apparently, Anna is a n extremely good cook and loves to whip up a traditional Italian 3-course Sunday night meal. I wish Ms. Granganino the best in all her future endeavors and hope that she enjoys her stay in California.
