Carlos Monteiro is a Brazilian from the school called Colegio Diocesano Santo Antonio. He plans to be an agrono mist and came to Armijo to study American Agriculture and join our FFA, besides learning better English. Carlos speaks Portuguese. Carlos thinks Armijo is a good school. He finds the Agriculture classes interesting and the teachers pleasant. The Agriculture classes, he feels, will be very helpful to his future as an agronomist in Brazil. At home Carlos is kept busy working with his horses and sheep, and raising crops for himself. The teenagers in America are similar to those in Brazil, according to Carlos, and when he goes home he will remem- ber the ice cream, the hamburgers, Armijo, and the Hervey family, whom he is living with.
