Willkommen
Beall High is hosting an AFS student this year: Lisa Blasius, from Grefrath, a small village near Düsseldorf, Germany. Lisa is living with Beall junior Kristen Davis and her family. Inspired by friends who had been AFS participants and wanting to experience another culture, Lisa learned in August that she would be coming to the United States. Although she has traveled throughout Europe and Africa, adjusting to life here was more difficult than she expected. Lisa is trilingual, speaking German, French, and English, but she found "Americanized" English difficult to understand. Finding academics here easier than in Germany, Lisa will repeat her school year when she returns home. Kristen hopes to visit Lisa in Germany after graduation.
