My new host-sisters and host-cousin.
Regular school will begin on August 30th, and I will attend Dietrich Bonhoeffer Gymnasium. I live less than 2 miles from the school, so it's only a 10-minute bike ride!
For my senior year of high school (2010-2011), I will be residing in Europe! I received the Congress-Bundestag Award, which is a full one-year scholarship from the U.S. Congress and German Bundestag to study abroad in Germany (www.usagermanyscholarship.org). I applied while I served Congress as a Republican Page to the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, DC. My stay is from July 23rd, 2010 - July 8th, 2011.
