Cultures exchange ideasg Students broaden views Great! is the way Jan Roeck- Hansen summed up his stay in Hastings. Jan is a foreign exchange student from Danderyd, Sweden. Jan stated that the one big difference in HHS as compared to his home school is that in his school it is just a place to learn and then go home, where as in HHS it is more of a social place as well as a learning place. Wilmon Gouveia, a foreign ex- change student from Brazil, stated that his reason for becoming an ex- change student to the U. S. was to learn English because it is the inter- national language of business. Wilmon said that he liked it here very much, but believed' that the peo- ple in Brazil were friendler. Roberto Rosetanni, from Civitanova, Italy, feels that he has learned much from his experience in Hastings, Before I came, I was prejudiced toward the U. S. because I thought everyone was really rich. Now I know that everyone is the same here as anywhere else. Roberto's reason for becoming an exchange student was to travel as well as to learn about other coun- tries. Christine Wille, from Bergen, Norway, was restless after high school and wasn't sure what she wanted to do, so she decided to become a foreign exchange student. Christine said that she has learned to become a more responsible person since her stay here. She summed up her experiences here in one word- worthwhile Jan and RaeNae get into the spirit of Islander Day. Wilmon meets Swedish students as well as American in Hastings. Roberto finds a new use for the lecture hall.
