? yiei 2 t StcuCettfo s4ctivltie Yuko Shibata, a Japanese foreign exchange student at Bexley High School enjoyed several activities that BHS had to offer. One activity was the tennis team. Shibata preferred the powder puff team because the team provided both the fun and excitement of team interaction. In addition, Shibata said, “1 like teenage American life because you are active and free, plus in Japan, we cannot drive until we are 18. Her favorite American foods were pizza and hamburgers. Also, according to her, the main differences existed between Japanese and American schools. First, American students are allowed to choose the class courses, while in Japan they cannot. Also pupils in America have extra activities during class such as science labs. Shibata also said, My favorite American custom is Halloween because you get to dress up and receive lots of candy from everyone. Shibata con- tinued, I've discovered that in order to make friends in a new school you should either become involved in sports or in a school-related activity and be willing to make the first move. Maria Fogelklou, a Swedish foreign exchange student at Bex- ley High School, was also actively involved in many activities. One such activity was the Women's Ensemble. Fogelklou also enjoyed the powder puff team because of the American school spirit and the involvement it created between the students. Fogelklou said, In Sweden, you just go to school for studying, and there are no afternoon activities because the only thing that counts when applying to college is grades. Accord- ing to her, it was hard in the beginning to get used to the American school system because the Swedish school system is less formal. She continued, I want to thank Bexley High School for letting me be a student for the year and I have en- joyed my teachers and the education I have received here.
