"big sister from China"

We will be hosting a high school student from China this school year,she is from Ningbo China and will be in the 10th grade. She is very smart and speaks english quite well and of course mandarin. We are hooping that she can help us,well the kids with their mandarin and we can help her with her english. This of course is the goal,for her to improve on her English. She will arrive here Aug 7 in the eve,have a full day High school orientation and then all three kids will start school on the 18th. WE are exchanging email with our student and her mom and e are learning alot about her before she gets here. Her mom teaches Kindergarten in China and her father a manager of a large chemical company. We will keep you all posted as we get closer and of course thru her year here as she is a member of our family. The kids cant wait to meet their "big sister from China" and neither can we.
