HHS students live, grow in other countries Pam Hohenstein lived in Amersham England C35 Miles west of Londonl for two years. Pam enjoyed England much better than she likes the U.S. because of the scenery, weather, and the social life. She said this about the differences between the two countries, In the U.S. things move more quickly, and Americans seem to be more materialistic than Europeans. Pam also lived the Yokuska, Japan for three years when she was very young. Carlota Verduzco Maya is from Monclova Coahvila, Mexico. She attend- ed four years of business school before entering high school in Mexico. She graduated from high school and then came to Hastings to further her educa- tion. She is enrolled as a junior this year. She said, I like to talk to kids who have studied Spanish and help them with their conversation. Ken Dudley, junior and his brother Shawn, a sophomore, lived in Taiwan for three years before moving to Hastings. They liked Taiwan very much because of the people and the climate. Ken said Chinese food is the best, sometimes the dirty places serve the best food. The Taiwan and the U.S. governments are not getting along very well after Taiwan walked out of the U.N. They did this because Communist China was accepted into the U.N. Jill Yost had the honor of being a Rotary exchange student to Araguari, Brazil. She lived with four different families. The second family did not speak any English so she was forced to speak Por- tuguese in order to communicate. There were three different periods that the students could go to school, 17:00-1 1:30 a..m.l, C12 noon-5:30 p.m.D, 16:00-1 1:00J. She said, Out of the 84,000 people in the town the majority of them were poor. She also said there were often beggars at the doors. She mentioned that she would like to go back sometime, but she said that she enjoyed talking to Celina this year. Dave Hayes spent three years in Peru before returning to Hastings for his senior year. Dave cited several differences between the U.S. and Peru by saying that the Americans are generally more advanced and are more afluent than Peruvians.. One of Dave's accomplishments while in Peru was to be able to speak Spanish well. He took Spanish this year at HHS. Lynn Kahookele spent three years in Ceylon as an A.F.S. exchange student. Lynn noticed several differences between the two countries, one being Most marriages are arranged by parents and the bride and the groom do not get to see each other until the marriage ceremony. Lynn presented a convocation which gave many enlighten- ing facts on life in Ceylon. Traveling is a very beautiful experience. It is exciting to think that we have students within our school that have journeyed around the world and back again.
