Reviewing Inbound Applications
On Monday I received applications of inbound students to check out. There were eight students for us to choose from. I printed out the applications and whisked them to my parents. There was/were:
- 1 girl from Thailand
- 2 girls and 1 boy from France
- 2 girls and 1 boy from Brazil; and
- 1 girl from Germany
My dad skimmed through a few of the apps and thoroughly read the one German girl’s application. After that, he didn’t feel like reading any more and just said “Let’s host her.” Funny, because he was the one most interested in hosting in the first place.
Mom on the other hand looked at all of them, taking notes (example: “saxophone, hard to wake up”). Weird because my mom wasn’t as interested in hosting as my dad before. She particularly enjoyed laughing at the letters (one girl, describing a typical day, wrote “Then I take a shower” three times). We ended up picking the girl from Germany, because she liked her letter and because she wanted to get some German practice in.
*is sad because it’s not a boy* But that’s ok! It’ll be easier to make friends with a girl anyway. =D Does she play an instrument? *is shamelessly trying to get another marching band member*
