I'm Claudio. lim an Argentinian AFS student, I came to America on July 17, 1979. I came from a family with a brother, Jose Luis 15, and two sisters, Gabriela 12 and Fernanda 9. My father's profession is advertising, and my mother has a radio and TV program. My city, whose name is San Juan, has 400,000 inhabitants and is placed in the valley in the Andes Mountains. It is modern because in 1944 it was destroyed by an earthquake, and every building was reconstructed. I really liked this year here, especially the people who tried to help me and communicated with me. When I first came I didn't speak any English. The first few days, I did everything by signals, and sometimes it was very funny. The first most funniest and most embarrassing experience I had was when I stopped for breakfast iwhen I came from New Yorkl in Chicago and a man tried to sell me LSD. It was embarrassing because I didn't understand anything he was saying and after asking twice very loudly, What are you saying? , I then yelled in Spanish for some friends to come and translate. He thought I was pulling his leg and the next thing I knew, he was gone. I really like the United States, and I also like the school system. I mean, the difference between Argentina's school and system and the US's school system are many. First of all, here you spend more time in school than we do. In the United States, the school is really your second house, and for some people it's their first home. At home, I go to school in the afternoon. This way, I usually sleep in the morning, but not everybody in Argentina goes to school in the afternoon, some go in the morning. We have the choice. Another difference is that we don't have the school activities or clubs as you do here. At GBS, I was in the AFS Club, but I also visited other club activities because they were new to me. This is one good and important thing to have - clubs in the school - because you do the things that you like and you have it in the same school. The differences that are in the system itself, in the way of teaching and the rules are noticeable. In Argentina, we don't choose subjects. Almost all schools require uniforms, and we have in the room the same companions all year. The teachers come to us, we don't go to them. I also practiced sports at South. I was lucky to play soccer with a great bunch of guys with whom I had an excellent time, and we also had a good season. I have no more space to tell my experiences, but I can say it was very positive, interesting and enlightening, and I would recommend the AFS exper- ience for anyone. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your part in my time in the United States. I also extend this greeting to my teachers who were at any time ready to help me, like Mr. Zerfass, Mr. Balgenorth, Mr. Laouras, Mrs. Makas, Mrs. Pope, Dr. McConnell and Mr. Urban. So, Adios Amigos y buena suerte!!! Ms
