Cultural changes eject lives Hastings provides good times. I thought it was the best way to learn and to free myself. That's why Celina Christianni, from Sao Jose de Rio Pardo, Brazil became an AFS exchange stu- dent. Celina felt this past year that she had grown-up, learned to develop judge- ment, and to think carefully about each decision she has made since her stay in Hastings. Cecilia Lopez, from Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Mexico agreed that her reason for becoming a Rotary Exchange stu- dent was to leave her home town for awhile, also, to meet new people and to gain new experiences. Cecilia stated about Americans: They are so indepen- dent, whereas in Mexico all people, es- pecially the family are very close. Danny Fierro, also from Los Mochis commented that he had a big adjustment in learning to speak English as he knew very little. He further stated that his one big achievement is being able to unders- tand the words to the music of the tapes he had bought. Helena Karelehto, from Oulainen, Finland commented about her life while at HHS. It's fun to have so many people from different countries. Her favorite class while at HHS was German, while her favorite club was Rifle Club. Usual- ly in Finland there aren't any clubs and besides I'd never shot a rifle before. Helena's future plans are to finish her schooling and then return to the U.S. to attend college or nurses training. Jill Isacson, not an exchange student but a visitor from Faulin, Sweden was in- vited to spend the school year at HHS. She had this to say about the year, Visiting the U.S. has made me more of a responsible person and more of an in- dividual. Her future plans are to return to Sweden and attend gymnasium, a 3- year school attended before entering college.
