Bonjour! (Hello!) My name is Yvonne Shea, and my nickname is Bonnie. I am from Atlanta, GA and I go to school at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. I am traveling to France this winter in order to improve my ability to speak French and to learn about different people from around the world. I can’t wait to have all of you come on this journey with me!
Before we begin this journey, I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I have two older sisters and an older brother. I love to play soccer and play at my school. I am a defender, so I try to stop the other team from scoring. I'm so excited that I'll be able to join a team in France, too! Not only will I learn more of the French language in Lyon, but I will also learn the French style of soccer.
Additionally, I love food and cannot wait to try new foods--like all of the French cheeses! At college, I study neuroscience (science about the brain) and biology, and after college, I plan on becoming a doctor. Learning a new language could let me be a doctor in countries outside the United States when I graduate! I am beyond excited to broaden my horizons on this trip, and I'm thrilled to get to share my experiences with all of you!
