林 佩璇 from Taiwan with Pizazz





Lynden Christian High School always has a lot of exchange students - I love that! I was an exchange student in Germany 30 years ago. I still keep in touch with my host family. We also had a German exchange student 9 years ago - Karsten. He is our dear friend. We visited Karsten and his family and my host family when we traveled Europe in 2003. Karsten and his brother Matthias came to visit us, and Karsten ended up studying at U Victoria for a year. These are wondrous bonds with friends far away and from different cultures.
Lisa is from Taiwan, and one of about 30 exchange students in the LC school system. She's been here since 8th grade and I was privileged to take her senior pictures. She is full of life and the glow from within is so bright it spills out all over! You can guess I loved taking her photos!
