And this is it, but warning! It IS in German. I will talk about it in this post, so if you can't understand German, just keep reading.
The article was VERY big. it took up half a page in the local sports section in the Fellbach newspaper. The story is about me, my exchange, and most especially, me playing soccer for the girls team here in Rommelshausen, where I live. I am a goalie and the team here likes me a lot as a goalie. All in all it was a very good article with very few unfactual things, which was super awesome.
First it talks about how I come from the US and Kutztown specifically, about Christian my host family dad and how my family came to know him, and very briefly about my family, my sisters, my mom, and of course, my oma. Then about my take on the popularity of soccer in America, and a quote from Annika: (translated of course) "She's really positive, always on her toes, and plays some really good soccer." and then my coach: "That is a very special human being. I like her humanity and the joy for life that she brings with it: where Deni is, there is life." (This is the part where I internet-blush :)
The reporter also quoted me talking about things that were different,"The light switches work differently, and all the streets are much narrower. And we always eat our lunch at school in the school and here you can go where ever."
It was a very good article and it came in the paper with a nice little picture of me with my gloves and a soccer ball by the goal post smiling. (when the picture was taken, I was definitely freezing my ass off, but it was worth it).
Well... I have three tests in the next four schooldays, so... I must go and "learn until my brains all rot!".
That was a wonderful article! So proud of you and envious of the Germans for getting to enjoy your Lebensfreude while we miss you here!
