O Ye Peoples Of The Earth, For Then, Ze, you are going to lVlarietta, Ohio, to live with lVlr. and Mrs. Baker. I'll drop by in several minutes to give you the application. When I heard the president of the A.F.S. chapter tell me this on the phone last July, I was the happiest person in the world. I had just achieved a dream of a good many years: to come to the States as an exchange studnet. I was born in Santos, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in January 23, 1952. IVly hometown is the busiest port of Latin America, in part because of its closeness with the industrial center of Sao Paulo. It is also the port that exports the most coffee in the world. The city has 350,000 inhabitants and is an impor- tant resort for its beaches. I have three brothers: Joao, 135 Rui, 95 and Paulo, 5. lVIy father owns a piece-goods shop and lVlum is an elementary school teacher. When I first met the Bakers, I knew at once they were the right family. I was very lucky and always enjoyed living with them. The only problem would arise when I tried to convince them that I was too tired and should stay home and rest . . . Looking back, school life was lots of fun. I could never shape with the running ll liked to chat a bit between classesl, and research papers gave me many headaches. I could never get rid of the Latin habit of sleeping after lunch and the math class I6th 81 7th periodsl would suffer the consequences . . . It required lots of personal ability to talk in study halls and not get a detention slip. The Senior Class Play was lots of fun and I enjoyed spending that time with the group. I learned very fast what T.G.l .F. stood for. School life was one of the high points of my experience and a wonderful one! Here at NISHS, I found my best friends and supporters. Here I spent many hours that will be most valuable in the years to come. I have to thank all of you for making possible my coming and providing such an enjoyable stay. I am very grateful to all of you and one part of my life and of me will always be with the Nlariettians. I will be back as soon as possible. With love Ze'
