Freshman Clara DAquino Lazarini cuts out pieces of a magazine to make a vision board in her Fashion Apparel and Housing Design class. Following a recommendation from her sister, senior Luisa DAquino Lazarini, Clara was thrilled to start the class at the beginning of the semester, looking forward to having an elective class where she can learn, grow and be creative with her friends. “I am a more creative person, but sometimes it is hard to be creative. I like getting to sit around and explore. Fashion is one of those things I like to explore and get to know more [about]. I think [the class] is very fun because we get to create [our] own things,” Clara said.

Sticking her tongue out playfully, 3-year-old Clara DAquino Lazarini tightly holds her sister. In Brazil, when the two shared a bedroom, many fun memories were made — however, there were the occasional light-hearted disputes. “I would always try to sneak into her bed at night because she had [the] top bunk, and I was so upset that I didn’t have it,” Clara said. “I used to talk while I was sleeping, and every morning she would tell me the things I said or did, and she would always pretend to be mad at me, but in the end, she'd laugh about it with me.”
