Willkommen to Woodland: German foreign exchange student finds 'second family'
Like so many other Europeans, Dilara Isildak always dreamed about coming to California.The 16-year-old German has seen enough Hollywood movies to picture herself touring Alcatraz and glitzy Los Angeles. She's learned to speak English -- one of nearly a handful of lingoes she has picked up on -- fairly well.
Turns out she's also acquired plenty of other knowledge and ended up, by luck of the draw, in the Golden State because of that intellectual prowess.
For the next 10 months, Isildak, of Essen, Germany, will call Woodland, Calif., her home ... even though she had never even heard of the City of Trees until she found out she'd be attending Woodland High School as a foreign exchange student via CIEE, a nonprofit, non-governmental international exchange organization.
"I wanted to live the American life like you see it from movies and television," Isildak said of why she decided to study in the states. "I wanted to go to high school to improve my English and live with a host family to get a second family."

Foreign exchange program brings Armenians to Broadneck
Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by James Matthews in BHS
Two teachers from Armenia visited Broadneck last week as part of an exchange program that sent Broadneck Russian lecturer Julie Steimel to Armenia over the summer.
Salt-water Arakelyan and Armine Ivanyan emptied most of the day on Friday, Nov. 6, giving presentations to miscellaneous Broadneck classes about their hinterlands.
Steimel remembers asking an Armenian observer what he most wanted Americans to separate about Armenia. “He answered, ‘Please fitting total sure-fire they cognizant of where we are,’” said Steimel.
In the sparse presentations, Arakelyan did indeed disclose where Armenia is. “You see the Black Sea? And the Caspian Sea? Armenia is repay in between,” she said, pointing to a map in Jennifer Woods’s description arrange.
With the basics thus established, Arakelyan went on to approach Armenian and American indoctrination. She did most of the talking, because Ivanyan speaks sparse English.
In Armenia, there is a much stronger target on foreign languages than in America. “Russian and English are compulsory at our devotees starting in the first classify. Most students one's hands on four or five languages,” said Arakelyan.
The discussion took a more serious return a refuse when one of Woods’s students mentioned Turkey. “Because of genocide, we astray over one million people. We will always have that lacerate in our hearts,” but new Turks “are not blamed for what has been done by their ministry.”
The Armenian and Turkish governments agreed in October to create wise contacts. “We will see what our control will set up. As the French will say, c’est la vie,” said Arakelyan.
The trek was sponsored by the Civics Mosaic discharge, which is an exchange program for teachers aimed at forming universal bonds and exchange of ideas. Arakelyan and Ivanyan got into the program because they are civics training teachers at their peaceful devotees. “We try to show our students, what is a townswoman? What are the values cognate to being citizens of the earth?” said Arakelyan.
