IMG_0766

My name is Kathy Zhou. I’m 25 years old. I’m from San Jose, California. San Jose is known for its tech industry and sunny weather.

Last year, I was teaching middle school math in New Orleans, Louisiana. Middle school in the states is equivalent to the collège here in France. New Orleans is known for its cajun cuisine and its jazz and blues music.

This year, I live in Noeux-les-Mines.

I’m not quite sure yet where I will be next year.

I enjoy traveling, playing music, running, eating, and riding my bike.

I like dogs, dancing, and watching TV. I don’t like video games or spiders. I have one brother named Brett and one dog named Katie. This year, I live in Béthune, France. Next year, I will go back to Michigan.

Troy, Michigan is about 20 minutes north of Detroit, Michigan. Detroit is known for Motown music and the auto industry. There are also four major professional sports teams in Detroit- Detroit Lions (American football), Detroit Pistons (basketball), Detroit Red Wings (hockey), and Detroit Tigers (baseball).

Contrary to its name, North Carolina is in the south. And in the south, instead of saying “you all,” we contract it to “y’all.” As an English assistant, I try not to say it, but it is really hard!

Fun fact: France is almost 4 times bigger than North Carolinafvnc

ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL THIS YEAR

Outside of school, I have been enjoying making new friends in France. I think people in this region are very friendly and welcoming. In November, I invited some of my new friends to celebrate Thanksgiving with me. Thanksgiving is an American holiday where we eat a special meal with family or friends. We also talk about things we are thankful for. I am thankful for my family, my friends, and my country. I am also thankful to be in France this year.
