Our family had the amazing opportunity to host a young girl from Ukraine named Olga during the summer of 2010. We instantly fell in love with her and began the process to make her our daughter. Over the course of the adoption Olga decided to change her name to Alexandria, Alex for short. This blog is the story of her adoption.

Parlez-vous français?
Alex got to select the classes that she would like to take next year as a rising Freshman. Apparently she feels being able to speak four languages isn't quite enough and signed up to take French. I have no idea if they will actually let her take it or not as she will be in ESOL as well. I am pretty sure she is exempt from the foreign language requirement, but she really wants to take French. Crazy kid. :)

Add overachiever to her list of qualities :) What a smarty pants! I love it!
ReplyDeleteKnowing so many languages is a really great and marketable skill.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to have a gift for languages, as well. While she still has trouble reading English, her spelling skills are rapidly improving. I always thought those two things would just go hand in hand, they don't.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with her desire to excel. She could have easily chosen Spanish as her foreign language and coasted through it.
