YOUTH FDR UNDERSTANDING Andrea at home 6 KA' td' ,,-QQ I-low I feel about thrs year In Amertca nobody can really rmagrne. I never expected to be sent away as an exchange student until a letter arrrved from the Youth for Understandrng Program telling me that I would go to Arnerlca and to Californra, That fulftlled my greatest destre. If I should corne to the states I wanted to see Californta, Now suddenly all my dreams became true, I was very, very happy, but everythtng seemed to me so unreal, I could not make myself a prcture of all that Is now so famtlrar to rne. Maybe rt was good, so I come wrthout pretudices, However, to get ocquatnted wtth my whole new surroundrngs brought me some troubles IU the begrnning Thlngs so natural to you made drfftcultres for me. I had a hard time findrng from one classroom to the other in the short breaks, I drd not know howto open a locker and probably broke several ofthe school rules unlntentlonally. But so many of you, whom I had never met before helped me so ktndly and were so nuce to me that I soon felt at home and after a few weeks was glad that it was Blackford where I should stay for one year. I want to tell all you students, all teachers, Mr. Romer and Mr. Horrlgan, how I appreciated staytng with you. lt is a great difference between lrvtng In a community and heartng about tt from the outsudet When I remember you I wtll thunk about the games and sung, Forever Blackford I-lrgh, Andrea Reischtes I3I
