Who is Anna Devisme? by Chiara Marangoni
Anna is one of the French exchange students at our school. She is from Toulouse, in the south of France. She is a senior at Saugatuck High School, and she is attending English, US History, Algebra, Physics, and Printmaking. Her favorite class is printmaking. She likes this class because it is very interesting and she always tries new things.
For this year she is staying at the Kolev's house. She has two host siblings, Liberty and Vasil. Both of them are younger than her. She feels “very integrated and good with them.” They spend a lot of time together, and she and her host sister have a really good relationship.
When I asked her about what she misses the most from France, she told me, ”I mostly miss my family and my friends, but also my sports and my activities.” In France she did Thai boxing and self defense; here in the US she joined the Cross Country team instead. She really liked running, and it was a good way to meet new people.
Before leaving France, her expectations were to improve her English, to share her culture, and to learn about American culture. Of course, she also wanted to meet new people and make new friends all over the world.
So if you haven't talked to Anna yet, go and meet her!
