What she thinks of Beaver High: I liked everything =) the students and also the teachers were very nice to me/us and helped me/us in every situation we needed someone had a lot of fun with them all and I also met some really good friends there. Even if it is very different from our schools I like it a lot because everyone was more outgoing then for example in Germany...

Thoughts about playing soccer: It was a wonderful experience especially with the great team. The coach and my team mates were so nice and helped me all the time to get my first goal =) ...that was so kind!
