Welcome Paula !

As we begin our 2012-13 school year, we are delighted to welcome a new member to our school community. Paula S. will be an exchange student and member of the senior class this semester. She is almost 18 years old (her birthday is next week!) and she has already graduated from high school at home in San Jose, Costa Rica. Paula is currently living with fellow senior, Valeria B. who has been her friend since the two met in kindergarten in Costa Rica.

Paula is an only child and her hobbies include hip-hop dance and kick boxing. Paula loves animals and has a dog in Costa Rica. She also enjoys painting, drawing and listening to music in Spanish, English and Portuguese. This is Paula's first "real" visit to the USA. She is very excited to learn more about American culture and to improve her English language skills. She wants Ursuline students to know how happy she is to be here and that she knows this experience will be one that she "will always remember."

Welcome Paula! We look forward to having you in our school!
