Students ‘Zoom’ chat with Russian exchange student

Former Wayland High School foreign exchange student Alina Polyakova spent time with the sociology class this past week via Zoom, discussing world travel and the more than 40 cultures she has lived in and visited. She taught the class some key phrases in the five different languages she speaks and gave them practical advice about following their dreams and hard work. Alina was an exchange student from Russia in 2014-2015. She currently lives in Geneva, Switzerland, and is working on her master’s degree in international relations with a focus on economics and diplomacy.
