Irene Sidede ’16 heard about UT from a friend. She liked that it was private and small and that the weather would be similar to her home. She wasn’t able to visit in person, so when her freshman semester rolled around, she boarded a plane and flew by herself to Tampa — her first time in the U.S. She got a taxi to take her to campus, where she’d, for the first time, be on her own.
“I had always thought of myself being in the U.S.,” she said. “I was so excited.”
It’s this kind of confidence and self-assuredness that Sidede exudes. As a finalist in the Face of Kenya USA pageant, Sidede hopes to represent her country as an ambassador here in America.
