This was the start of her love for Thailand. Adiele went on to get a scholarship from Harvard but between her struggle through self-identity, depression, and complete confusion, she failed out.

After viewing and researching several articles and pictures on densho.org, I gathered some pieces of knowledge about the Japanese Americans that resided in the Minidoka Internment Camp in southern Idaho.
