Transcript of the video interview:

"My name is Paulo Gusmao. I am a sophomore here--finishing up my sophomore year.

"I'm sort of a mutt in terms of where I'm from. I was born in Washington, D.C., but I think I was six months old when I moved to Venezuela. I grew up in Venezuela, but both of my parents are from Brazil, so I've got dual citizenship in Brazil and the United States.

"I went to an international boarding school, called the United World Colleges, in Las Vegas, N.M. It was a school developed in the 1950s, and it is based on bringing students from around the world together in an effort--that in the future, they'll become leaders in their respective countries, and because they've built bonds in high school, conflict can be resolved in a non-violent way.

"It was a school with 200 students and 100 different countries represented. I graduated with an international baccalaureate. I had an international high school diploma, which is recognized pretty much anywhere, so I did look at a lot of places.

"Redlands really became a defining point because a board of trustee at the United World College is an alumni from Redlands, and they're developing a scholarship program with Redlands to increase international student presence here through the United World Colleges.

"So, it [Redlands] was definitely a place--it was fresh; it was new; it was small, and it was on the West Coast--can't complain with the weather--and it offered a whole lot for me in that sense, and the idea of it wanting to increase international student presence was very appealing to me.

"It showed that there was a lot of forward movement in terms of the school. Definitely I feel like this school gives us, the people with different backgrounds, people with racial differences, people with cultural differences, an opportunity to speak out."
