Clara Zwetler :)

We've had the opportunity again this year to have exchange students come to St.Anthony. I would like to highlight one in particular, Clara Zwetler. She is 16 years old, her birthday is July 23, 1993. She is from Heidelberg, Germany. She has one sister, Lea, who is 11.


Clara wanted to come to the USA to improve her English so she can come here to study after high school. She said she misses her best friends from home, and she can't call them as much as she'd like. The thing she likes most about America is that her grades don't count towards her German schooling, and the thing she likes the least is that Starbucks doesn't have her fave coffee. Her favorite American food is Oreos, and her least favorite is anything blue, especially blue Gatorade. She said the easiest thing about being here is making new friends. The hardest thing is knowing she has to leave so soon.

Back in Germany, she goes to parties, concerts, shopping trips, and spontaneous trips to other countries for fun. Here in the US, she goes shopping, goes to concerts and runs cross country (varsity!) for fun.

We have all enjoyed having her here, and we'll be sad to see her go.
