My name is Jonna, and I am from Denmark. I came here in 2006 because of my husband’s job. My husband has for many years wanted to work here in Silicon Valley and I have always wanted to try to live aboard. Suddenly he was offered a job her Palo Alto so we grab the chance, and I must say we do LOVE to stay here.
I have a son 16 years old, and he loves to stay here as well. He have joined the Robotic club at Paly ( Palo Alto High School) he socialize a lot with the kids there and have integrated very well.
When you move to another country you are very nervous if the whole family can adapt. In our case we can only say “it’s way over what we dreamt about”
I Denmark I worked as a Controller/Manager in a furniture company because I did not use my English professionally I felt that the time was right for me to do something about this and that is why I study here at Foothill.
Last semester I had Rita W in my grammar class and I felt that I learned a lot, but still I am not god at grammar and spelling so that is why I have signed up to this class.
I 2003/2004 we lived for 9 month in Cupertino, but now we live in Palo Alto, and for me it is amazing to see such a multicultural mix of people and I enjoy every day that we stay here.
As Marina mentioned she is not in the beginning of her life the same goes for me, I have been working for the last 30 years, so for me it is really a luxury that I can be able bought financially and time wise to study here at Foothill.
If you have any questions you want to ask me feel free to write to me.
All the luck with your exam.
