Здравствуйте (Greetings)! My name is Bella Nesbeth, I am 20 years old and I am from Morrisville, North Carolina. When I am in North Carolina, I love to walk my dog and visit my sisters at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill! I go to school at Grinnell College in Iowa where I play softball! I study International Relations, or in other words, the way different nations interact with each other. I also study Russian! This semester, I received the Benjamin A. Gilman Critical Language Scholarship to study Russian at Tallinn University in Tallinn, Estonia! Estonia is a Baltic country that borders Russia and the Baltic Sea! While softball is not played in Estonia or at Tallinn University, I have joined the Cheerleading Team! I am excited to share my adventures with you all and I am excited to hear about your journeys through the school year!
