X we -- Ellis Leigh Robinson, an Ashbrook student who participated in the AFS program last summer, shows o her adopted country, Colombia. A dream came true for me last summer. I was an AFS exchange student to Cale, Co- lumbia. I will always think of Colombians as affectionate, animated, and social people, I will remember dancing to tropical music, eating fresh pineapple, and falling asleep to the music of crickets and Spanish guitars. I wanted to be an exchange student so I could experience another culture first- hand. By doing this I also gained a broader perspective on my own country. I wanted to have the opportunity to 'be on my own. Of course, I lived with a family, but it was my responsibility to adapt to their cul- ture and make my own friends. This was very rewarding although difficult. I made some friendships I feel will be lasting ones. Last summer I realized as never before what living in the United States means. Our national heritage is part of what we are as individuals. I gained respect for other peo- ple as I realized how their cultures play a part in their lives. Most of all I realized that beneath our cultures we all love and laugh the same. - Leigh Robinson 30X Campus Life
