Lake Erie student traveling between Italy, U.S.

Elizabeth DeAngelis is moving at a fast pace.
Literally.
The Life Skills of Lake Erie student is finishing her school as she travels between her families in Parma and Italy.
DeAngelis, 17, was born in America and moved to Italy at 3-4 years of age. She came back from Italy at 5 before moving back in August.
She returned in November and hopes to graduate in June.
DeAngelis, who is fluent in English and Italian, said she chose Life Skills after not being able to pay for school fees in Parma.
“(I like Life Skills) since I can do it at my own pace,” she said.
Her teacher, Christopher Stoll, said he’s been impressed by her progression in the classroom.
“She finished sophomore and junior level English in a month’s time,” he said. “(Elizabeth’s) a creative writer.”
DeAngelis said she enjoys the Italian culture.
“The whole Italian custom is different than America,” she said. “I like it. The whole country shuts down in August.”
