One thing she knew that she had to do was to improve her German language skills as much as possible – an extra challenge for a student who has no family members possessing more than a rudimentary background in the language. Tyra worked hard over the year to assimilate the material presented in class and find ways to help supplement her learning and practice of the language and her efforts showed. Flipping through a copy of German Life Magazine this past spring, an advertisement for Concordia College’s German Immersion Camp caught her eye as the perfect opportunity to further her efforts. When German School classmate Melissa Davide – a previous attendee of the camp – urged Tyra to apply for the scholarship, she was only too willing! Hearing about and researching the camp’s activities in combination with German language learning motivated Tyra to write the poem for which she was selected as the recipient of the 2014 Scholarship. As the artist who designed the logo used by German-American School of New York, and a dancer with the Schlierachtaler Stamm Bavarian Dance group of Franklin Square, Tyra is looking forward to new opportunities to promote and engage in German language and culture through her experience gained at Concordia next summer. Poem by Tyra Porinchak 7. Klasse “Deutschland?- Find‘ ich gut!” In der Bergluft voller Sanftmut. Es berührt mein Gesicht und es sagt mir: “Komm mit!” Und zusammen springen wir in den Wiesen...
