Anna Comes To America in Less Than 5 Days!

On Monday, October 15th, Anna Frey, my new exchange partner through the German American Partnership Program is coming to America! I decided to sign up for the exchange through my school again since last year I loved it so much. I am not one hundred percent sure if I will be going back to Germany again but I am excited to host again.

When I signed up for the exchange program again in June my original partner was Anna Schultz. I had the the chance to meet her during my stay in Germany and get to know her. She is friend's with Lea and their families know each other. One day I got the news that she was unable to do the exchange which broke my heart but I am glad I got to spend time with her this summer. We are still great friends and communicate through Facebook every now and then.

I am excited to host another German student for three weeks but I haven't talked to her much through Facebook since I found out she was my partner. I kind of wish that we could have communicated more and get to know more about each other before she came to live with me for three weeks. I am pretty nervous since I only little information about what she is like and what her interests are. I hope we have the same interest so she is not bored with my activities.

Even though we are hosting again I can't help but be reminded of when we got ready for Lea's arrival last October. I haven't talked to her much either but that is because I am so busy with school and band. I believe she is busy with her everyday life in Germany also since during my three week stay we were busy what seemed like everyday. Hopefully we start talking to each other again soon.

I am truly thankful for the opportunity to meet these three beautiful young ladies. They are some of the most important people of my life and will forever be in my heart. I am so glad I am involved in the German Partnership Program.
