"We are all under the same sky" is the verse from a poem that Laxmi wrote and recited to her 9th-grade class. It spoke about equality, discrimination, and the sharing of the world among everyone. Laxmi is now in the 12th grade, preparing to study medicine at the University. It has been a long journey from her home country, Nepal, to becoming fluent in Portuguese and finding true friends. Now, she is very happy and highly motivated to achieve her dreams. In BOWING, Laxmi deeply engaged in the process over the two years, participating in both performances. Her passion for mathematics did not prevent her from dancing, singing, and creating a solo performance in the BOWING BACK performance about the clouds she photographs while waiting for the bus to school at the Almograve stop.
