Students From All Points of the Globe “I’d like to go back someday to visit my friends and family, but I'm happy living here in the states, says Leah Herrera one of the foreign-born students at ACHS. Representing Brazil, the Phillippines, Spain, and West Germany, all of the foreign-born students seem to fit in well. Many of these students would not even consider themselves foreign-born because they moved to the United States at such an early age. Leah and Eden Herrera were born in Cebu City, Phillippines. They moved to the United States four years ago when their father decided to bring his medical practice to the states. Leah likes the states because she feels she has more opportunities here and prefers the democratic type of government to the government of the Phillippines which is close to a dictatorship Eden was ten years old when she saw her first snow; her family was living in New York at the time. Both Doerte Neuhaus and Jan Seufert were born in West Germany. Doerte was an exchange student from Ahlhorn, West Germany, but returned to her native country in January. Jan was born in Baumbholder while her father was stationed in West Germany in the Army. Linda Suarez was born in Madrid, Spain. The thing she remembers most about Spain is the fiestas held on all the holidays when they had parades and danced in the streets. Another exchange student at ACHS this year is Adriana Pedrosa from S§o Paulo, Brazil. One of the festivals Ady missed while she was staying in the United States was the carnival that was held in February. She plans to stay only until March. Ady Pedrosa would like to come back to the United States to visit. Both Leah and Eden Herrera agree that the food in the United States is very different from food in the Phillippines. 20 students born in foreign countries
