Sasha Belaluddin

by Rachel Phillips

Generous, intelligent, and motivated, Sasha Bellaludin has taken her life in many directions and demonstrates many dreams for her future. She was born on August 15, 1995, in Torrance, California.

Sasha’s family moved to Huntington Beach on her first birthday, where she has lived ever since. Her younger sister, Sara, was born six years later. Both Sasha and Sara enjoy spending time together, even to this day.

With an avid desire to read and learn, Sasha has always had a passion for English because she loves to write; however, she has always shown talent in mathematics. She also involves herself in community service groups like Working Wardrobes, a  group that collects and redistribute used clothing to people in need.

In her personal life, Sasha likes to keep school and home separate, by spending weekends and free time with her mom, dad, and younger
sister. When she was younger, she practiced ballet, but as she has grown older, she knows that long bike rides with her dad and fun family movies like Winnie the Pooh help to compose a perfect weekend.

Every three to four years, Sasha and her family enjoy a trip
back to her heritage in Bangladesh, located next to India. There, they reunite with old family and friends before returning to the United States.

When discussing her future, Sasha seems very unsure of what she really wants to do. She mentions a desire to be a doctor, but she does not know which college she would like to attend. With much anticipation, however, she looks forward to leaving her family and moving on to accomplishing success in her later life.
