Who is Daniela Nkurunziza? by Chiara Marangoni
Daniela is one of the exchange students at our school. She is from Herford, in the west of Germany. Germany is not her only home country, as Burundi is her second home. Her dad is from Burundi and her mom is from Germany, so Daniela has double citizenship. Another thing about Daniela is that she also has a middle name, Kigama. It has origins from Burundi and it’s from her dad’s grandfather.
Daniela is a junior at her school in Germany. Some of her classes are math, P.E, religion, French, and English. Her favorite classes in Germany are French and English.
Here at Saugatuck she is taking English, Algebra, Biology, Journalism and Video Production. Her favorite class is Journalism.
When I asked her if she enjoyed Saugatuck so far, she told me that she likes the people here and that the city is next to Lake Michigan. She really likes the relationship between teachers and students because in Germany it’s totally different. The German teachers don’t really care about the student and their life outside of school.
When I asked what she misses the most from Germany, she told me, “I really miss my cats, Izzy and Autumn.” Her host family has a dog Chip, a cat Huston and two fish; Snoop Dogg and Drake.
Being an exchange student can be hard, but Daniela is enjoying it so much. If you haven't met Daniela yet, go and talk to her!
