Sarangerel Sumiya is experiencing her junior year in high school in Royalton this year, instead of her home town of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.

Sara, as she prefers to be called, said she came to America because she needs to speak English fluently to succeed in her country. "I came to improve my English," she said. "It's an international language and to get a good job in Mongolia, it's required to know how to speak it well."
