Isabelle joined our family August 10th. Her parent's home is in Tostedt, Germany (near Hamburg), where they live with a YFU Finnish exchange student, Maria and Isabelle's sister, Dagmar and her brothers, Philipp and Thuve. She spent the first 4 days in the U.S. at a camp on Whidbey Island 90 miles north of Seattle with American and Canadian students. She is a senior at Renton High School. She loves Jazz-Dancing and hopes to continue dancing while in Seattle. She says, " I love it here in Seattle!"
Nancy had the pleasure to meet her in person this May when Isabelle traveled three hours by train to Dortmund (Nancy was teaching a workshop) to share an afternoon visit together.
Her future plans include studying medicine with the goal of becoming a doctor of Psychology.
