Claire Cahillane was born on October 12, 1989 in Limerick, Ireland and that is where she normally resides. Claire is one of eleven students studying abroad at Frostburg State University, but usually attends Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Co. Limerick, Ireland. This is her third year in college and she majors in English and Mass Communication. She plans to find a career working with magazines productions. If that doesn't work out she would consider teaching, in which she considers Mary Immaculate College perfect in helping to pursue that career. Mary Immaculate College is very good institute for future educators. Claire says that if she becomes a teacher that she would like to teach in foreign countries so she can travel. She really loves Europe so she mentioned some southern European countries.
Claire grew up living with her mother, who works with the international students at Mary Immaculate College and her brother that's three years older than her. The main attraction as far as sports in her country is Rugby, but as a child she left that sport for the boys. She sometimes played Gaelic football or hurling with friends. Her passion or main hobby as a young one was dancing. She really enjoyed ballet and that lasted about 12 years. After ballet, she enjoyed hip hop dancing, belly dancing and even salsa dancing. These days she only dances at parties and that is probably her favorite thing to do at the age of 21. "It's different partying over here because we can drink at 18 in country." She explained that because some of her friends who came to America with her aren't 21 yet.
Claire is currently enjoying America and Frostburg State University, but she is trying to get use to this severe weather that we're having. "Ireland doesn't really ever have extreme weather conditions", are her words exactly and she explained how they receive lots of rainfall. She has a very strong Irish accent, which is very expectable considering she been there all her life. She doesn't really miss all the rain, but she definitely misses the food. "I find the food kind of hard to manage." Claire then laughs and says, "The chocolate here isn't real besides the Twix." Outside of the food and her family, she really misses her two best friends of fifteen years, Paula and Grace. She also misses her three cats: Rita, Frankie and Dora but most of all her boyfriend. He a part of the British Army and lives in England. The two of them have been together since high school and have been through a lot. She even missed her prom, "Debs" being the Irish term for it, to be with him in France. He will be moving to Germany soon and that is some place that Claire would like to visit him.

Korawn, some of this is oddly worded ("magazines productions," "in which she considers"), while other parts are simply ungrammatical ("get use to," "she been there"). The sentence beginning "She explained that" is unfinished, and you mispunctuate one interruptive phrase and one interruptive clause. Also, who's the other woman in the photo with Claire?
