She stepped off the plane a nervous and ex- cited girl. She didn’t know what to expect from the people of the United States. She had never been outside of her own country and for the first time she felt very alone. This feeling did not last long because Adriana soon met the McFarlands and knew she had a place to be and a warm, lovable family to be there with. “After one orientation in Mexico City, I flew to Los Angeles, California, on July 13. In Los Angeles I stayed in the UCLA. Here I had one more orienta- tion and I met students from other countries such as Chile, Japan, Aus- tralia, New Zealand, and Malosya. The last day in UCLA the talent show was held, this was the best thing about orientation. After a week in California I flew to New York and then on to Pittsburgh. I then arrived in Frostburg to meet with my new American family. I don’t know what I real- ly like about the United States because everything is different here than in Mexico, and everything that I know about the U.S. is new for me. So I think that I like every- thing over here. The people, the place, the customs, and the language are differ- ent in Frostburg than in my hometown in Mexico. First, my city is larger than Frostburg, and I think that the environment af- fects the conduct of all peo- ple. As I like the people in my hometown, I also like the people in Frostburg, especially the McFarlands, my host family. This is my first time in a foreign country, and I am glad to be in the U.S. The thing I miss most about my home country of Mexico is my family. An- other thing I miss about my hometown is my friends.” AFS provides an oppor- tunity for students in high school all over the world to visit foreign countries and meet people of different races and ori- gins. Beall High is lucky to be the host school for a foreign student. 28 Far Away But Home

An awesome sight in the Horror Hole is that of Greg Duncan in his final resting place. In a small part of the insane word, Greg Duncan played a “dead beat” during the three nights of terror.
