Meet Vanessa Siegel, the very first exchange student YOUR BLOG has ever interviewed! Vanessa tells us about her life in both the U.S. and in Germany.
Q: So your hometown is in Germany. Is it different than the U.S. by a lot or a little?
A: Just a little bit.
Q: When you first arrived in the United States, was it hard calling America home?
A: Oh yeah, it is hard. It's still hard.
Q: What is the average response when you tell people that your home in the U.S. is not technically your "home" and that you call Germany home?
A: They usually are like, 'Oh, how do you like it here? Is it different...'
Q: What grade are you in in the U.S. and what grade are you in in Germany?
A: I was a senior here and I'm actually a junior in Germany.
Q: Do you ever get homesick?
A: Well, I miss my friends and stuff.
Q: Was it hard learning English as a second lagnuage?
A: Well, I was in fourth grade when I learned.
Q: Will you miss the friends you made at Wayne?
A: No. (sarcastic.) Yes, I will; totally!!!!
Q: Vanessa, if YOU had the chance to stay in the U.S. for another year, would you?
A: I would stay here. (she says that because the US is just that awesome! It's a party in the USA! U-S-A! U-S-A!)
Q: Was it hard watching the Olympics and seeing team USA but rooting for Germany--- Wait, did you watch the Olympics?
A: I didn't really watch the Olympics! (okay, let's cross out that question...)
Q: Teah us some German. What is your name in German? How do I say 'Hope' in German?
A: Actually, my name is just Vanessa in German! (she laughs.) How to say Hope in German? Uh... it's Hoffnung.
