Guten Tag! Good day! My name is Grace, and I’m a student at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Fayetteville is in the northwest corner of Arkansas, and it’s where I grew up with my two brothers. When I’m not in class, I love to hike, bike, and bake.
I started learning German in high school for fun, and I kept learning through college. As a result, I am fortunate to be abroad for an exchange semester at the Technische Universität Darmstadt as a Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholar.
I study chemical engineering, which makes the scientific activity around Darmstadt twice as exciting. For example, darmstadtium is one of the six chemical elements discovered here. Unscientifically, I am thrilled to use high-speed train networks and eat döner kebabs. I look forward to sharing this adventure with you! Bis später! Until later!
