Titusville, Florida.<\/p>\n

Ahmedabad, India.<\/p>\n

McMinnville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Chattanooga, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Anuja Patel, who has lived in each of these cities, doesn\u2019t stay in one place very long.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a place to call home, but I have so many places to call home at the same time. And I love that about me; that I\u2019m not a person who\u2019s constricted to one place, that I\u2019m open to new experiences, and it doesn\u2019t scare me,\u201d said Patel, who graduates Dec. 17 with a degree in marketing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

The pattern continues after graduation, when she plans to move to Cincinnati, Ohio, to live with her aunt and uncle and pursue full-time work. In about a year, she wants to enroll in a Master of Business Administration program at an as-yet-to-be-determined university.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life changes every four years, so I\u2019m about to go explore some other place,\u201d said Patel, who went to high school at Covenant Academy in McMinnville.<\/p>\n

It has been a busy four years for her above and beyond being a UTC student. She\u2019s currently president of the American Marketing Association chapter at UTC. She\u2019s working two jobs, one part-time in the IT department at UTC and another as an intern in Unum Insurance\u2019s billing department.<\/p>\n

Once graduation is behind her, though, she vows to have some Me-time, which includes a trip to India in January to reconnect with family and friends\u2014including her parents, who stayed in India to take care of their businesses when she moved to McMinnville to live with her aunt and uncle in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn India, we have investments in land and a factory that produces clothing bags and other clothing products like N95 masks during COVID,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Born in Titusville in 2000, her parents sent her to Ahmedabad to live with her grandparents when she was a year old. Her parents followed in 2006.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents wanted me to grow up with the Indian culture and have that background as a part of who I am,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When she was 14, she moved to McMinnville for the educational opportunities in America, she said.<\/p>\n

After her Me-time is done in April, she\u2019ll head to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

\u201cJanuary to April is my time to do whatever I want is what I tell myself because I owe it to myself to just enjoy,\u201d she said. \u201cI put in the hard work and I graduated, so I\u2019m just going take that time to do whatever I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she first arrived at UTC, she was \u201cquiet, timid,\u201d she said, certainly not words that describe her now. Coming from a graduating class of 10 at Covenant, the UTC campus of about 11,000 students was overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me a while to get comfortable here, to be able to make conversation with people and not feel like I was not qualified to be here. In a way, you\u2019re always comparing yourself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, to have connections, know people, have friends, walk around campus to be able to recognize people, talk to them, makes me feel like I\u2019ve grown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a little sad that I\u2019m going to be leaving this place, but for me it has always been about excitement. Leaving India and moving here was all about excitement. Moving to Chattanooga was all about excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her roommate, Naina Patel, has had a front-row seat to Anuja\u2019s UTC journey.<\/p>\n

Although they are not related, they share common bonds. In an intriguing coincidence, both lived in India and were high school classmates at Covenant Academy\u2014graduating in 2018. They have been roommates at UTC  since freshmen year and will be participating in commencement ceremonies Dec. 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so different, but somehow we just clicked,\u201d said Naina Patel. \u201cI would describe Anuja now as more comfortable and grounded into her environment as opposed to when she first came from India. She is confident and happy, especially as she found a career path she loves and enjoys.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she can always make a room laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n

A year or so after she settles into Cincinnati, Anuja Patel wants to pursue an MBA.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalking to professors, talking to people in the field, they say that, if you have some full-time experience under your belt, you\u2019re likely to understand the material more and get a better idea on how to use it in your full-time job rather than just focus on the GPA,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
