'LIFE I THE USA' Afhangf Uf Culture How many people would go away by themselves to a foreign country for an en- tire year? Well, four girls from distant countries came to Danville in 1985: Nadja Bornschuer from West Germany, Hilde Ia- cobs from Belgium, Moni- ca Lucio from Columbia, and Cecile Royneau from France. I was influenced a lot by my friends to come to America. l'm glad I came because I like it very much here, said Senior Hilde Ja- cobs. All of the exchange stu- dents agreed that life in the U.S.A. was much different than life in their home- land. Everything, the culture, the food, the language, the people, and even the high school, are all so different. It was hard to get used to, said Nadja Bornschuer, Senior. Although being far away from home has never been easy, these four young la- dies kept active in A.F.S. and other clubs. They also wrote long letters to family and friends describing their individual cases of culture shock. In my school in Colum- bia, you cannot select your own classes. Also I went to school from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., explained Monica Lucio. Although traveling to and living in a foreign country may seem scary, it proved to be an unforgetta- ble experience for Borns- chuer, Jacobs, Lucio, and Royneau.
