My American Experience
Hi, I’m Anastasia a French student. Due to my
studies, I made a decision for an internship. I wanted to go in USA because I
wanted to have my American Dream and it was a real opportunity for me to improve
my English and to live as an American.
My American life began with many problems at the American
border. I forgot in France my important
papers. I told this memory to my friend
they are so surprised and said to me poor Anastasia; but for me it was the
beginning of an unforgettable American life.
I lived with Cathy and Steve Nohe who were both so
sympathetic, nice, funny and generous. Thanks to them, I discovered the American
life and atmosphere.
Steve, Cathy, Flora, Carole and I at the Patriotic Concert. |
One of my favorite memories was a dinner: Cathy
cooked a very big turkey in order to initiate us to the Thanksgiving
atmosphere... in July. This feeling of sharing, laughing was very impressive
and interesting. There were lots of communities at this dinner: Japanese, American,
French... a real melting pot!
So many sauces to choose from! |
Another memory was our first American fast food. I think I have never seen a big onion rings
as this day.
The last important memory (even though I have lot of
things to tell) was the 4th of July. In
America it looks like as our 14th July in France [Bastille Day]... so patriotic
and festive.
Our lifestyle was very cool without stress in
Lexington. Cathy and Steve would drop
off their 3 French students to their internship and pick up us to the house
where we chill to the swimming pool or in a garden.
We also discovered the Bourbon industry and Red
River Gorge.
I worked with Sarah Martin in the Sister Cities
Million Dollar Hole in One Golf Competition.
Regarding the internship, it was in the marketing department
at the University of Kentucky. It was
interesting to promote and communicate about the life in the American
campus. I made leaflets, posted on
social media, and it was in requirements with my French studies! And I would
like to add that I made a new friend during my internship: Flora. I visited her in Marseille where she lives now. While she was in Lexington, she worked at
Bluegrass Baking Company.
I have lot of memories in America and as soon as I
can I will go back there.
Thank you so much American people who are so nice:
Mrs and Mr Nohe, my American parents, and thank you Lexington Sister Cities for
this opportunity!
