FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS I arrived here in the U.S. On August 15, 1985, so I had a few weeks to get to know l my new family before I started school. I came to America mainly because I had always been fascinated by its big cities and its famous television system with so many channels. It also provided an opportunity to learn about the difference between the young people in Norway and here, which are pretty interesting. Just before I left Norway, I learned that I was going to California, so I consider myself pretty lucky not to have ended up in North Dakota or someplace like that. Homesickness hasn't been any problem even though I was told that I would probably be homesick a little bit. Of course sometimes I miss my family and friends. I have enjoyed staying here very much. Kamen A 'f 5e ' Bergen, Norway Though Australia is similar to the States in many ways, there are also many differ- ences. They are not all as obvious as language or religion, but more subtle, like driv- ing on the opposite side of the street. I can't count the number of times l've almost died thinking I was in for a head-on collision. Living in Fremont is very different from my city of three and a quarter million peo- ple. lt's really unusual to wake up in the morning and see rolling foothills with no homes. I am really proud to see the enthusiasm that the Americans show about Australia. Almost everyone l've spoken to is determined to visit my country, and some even Lynette Arnold want to move there permanently. If any of you students are thinking about applying Sydney, Australia for an exchange to another country, I highly recommend it. It will be one of the most rewarding years in your life. It rains a whole lot where I live, so I love the weather in Fremont. I am not home- sick, and I like America a lot. I I have already been asked about my experiences here by almost everybody I have met, still, even with these typical exchange-student questions coming ten times a day, it is great fun being an exchange student at Mission. I love the activities here, especially homecoming. And not even the daily school routine is that bad, which is much more than I could say about the school routine in Germany. Mrs. Lane's Drama class is really fun, and Mr. Mattingly has a very amusing way of bringing government closer to his students. I lived with the super nice Cammerer family, and thanks to you all I had a great year. Heike Martenson Hamburg, Germany One upon a time there was a young girl living in Holland. She lived her whole life in a small town where she went to school and graduated in 1985. She didn't know what to do, and she thought that Holland was boring. In August of 1985 she left Holland to come back 10 months later with a lot of ex- perience from another country, America. There in America she did a lot of things you couldn't do in Holland, but she also saw that America wasn't the country she thought it was. There were normal people there just as in Holland. Only, those peo- ple were more open. That little Dutch girl saw the world through different eyes, and she knew that she would come back to America someday to stay for a vacation.
