Nancy, a town close to Germany, has a population of 300,000-quite a difference from Charlestown! Although Celine was considered a senior at CHS, she had, in fact, already graduated from high school in France. This gave her the opportunity to just have fun in America, but she found our classes to be much easier than what she was used to. Her favorite classes were psychology and newspaper, which she found to be quite a learning experience as she was very inter- ested in the field of journalism. Having taken seven years of English before coming to the states, Celine found the transition into our culture to be an easy one. She also kept busy by participating on the swim and tennis teams, as well as acting as vice-president of the French club.
