May, our Chinese Exchange Student

The countdown is on until our Chinese Exchange Student, May, arrives on July 14th. We received her information the other day and were so excited to find out more about her and see pictures of her and her family. She is 15 years old and her Chinese name is Li Yan Lin. Her American name is May. She is from Chengdu and her favorite subject in school is physics. She likes sports, likes to swim and is excited about learning as much about the USA as possible while she is here. She provided her email address on her application so we have been emailing her for the past week which is very cool. We are learning more about her via email and sharing some info and pictures about us as well. Email is such a cool thing! Her English is very good....she has taken it for the past 9 years. Maybe she can teach us some Chinese while she is here! Once she arrives you can be sure I'll be posting some pictures of her on the blog.
