Jennifer's Story
Life
Hi,
I recently heard from two old friends from my high school, and am now inspired! Had I known international schools were included on this website, I would have visited/joined earlier.
I went to four:
Dominican School-- Taipei, Taiwan (1975-76--don't think it exists anymore);
Taipei American School-- 1976-78 (still exists; big website;
Riyadh Int'l Community School (now SAIS, I think)-- Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (1978-80); and
Complexe Scolaire de Valbonne (now ISSA), Valbonne, France (1980-84, and my sentimental favorite...)
I am still in touch with quite a few friends from Valbonne, but they're sprinkled all over the planet. Would love to locate more--and to hear from people who went to the other schools when I did, too.
I was Jennifer Edens--now Jennifer Edens Simmons. I graduated from Duke University in 1988 and have lived in the thrills-a-minute city of Indianapolis, IN ( because of a job transfer) since then. I decided to raise my two boys in the sa...Expand for more
me place instead of subjecting them to a nomadic childhood like mine (even though I loved it!) To my disbelief, they are almost ready for college themselves. As soon as they're settled in universities, I plan to head back to the Cote d'Azur. Okay, maybe that's not realistic--but I definitely won't be here !
I have taught and translated French--and, to a lesser extent, German and Spanish--since getting my French degree. I now teach at an International School and love the multiculturalism of it; reminds me of my own HS experience.
I have 3 pets. 2 rescue dogs, Chester and Hugo, and one rescue cat, Mirth. One of my hobbies is picking up strays and returning them to their rightful owners when possible, adopting them when not. Also continue to globetrot when I can; still love Canada and Europe, and have also visited Argentina and India in recent years.
Would love to hear from anyone who attended a school above at the same time I did.
A bientot, j'espere!
Jennifer
