' i 53 gli' 1 I e I -fsfzin ezilfl-215' 351 J. ,g gtw My 5.5, . Hu When I was in Argentina, I applied and woln the scholarship and that was for me so exciting. It would be so much more excit- ing if I knew that my destination in USA would be Eden. Eden is a little rural town, but it is also true that it is one of the best communities. I didn't talk to the people at the beginning because of the language problem. They didn't mind and came to talk with me, that made it so easy. School is one of the things most different and unusual. Any- way, it was and is still a big experience for me. l want to thank all the people who one way or another helped me and mostly my families and AFS who made it possible. Come and visit me sometime or write me. Hugo Colombetti Brown 1885 6 P. Rosario, Sta. Fe Republica Argentina s A I l 1 I5-ff , 1, - : 1' Z A ' . . ,,,j5g5gZ57,,15,, 1 - ' '22 2 K - .

5. I A Ex kkk.. s fw' af-fs. F : rx , ii EVA I am now near the end of my AFS year here in Eden. It will be very difficult to say good bye, but I will never forget this year and all my wonderful memories. They will stay in my mind forever. I am from a city in west Denmark. I graduated from my school in Denmark last sum- lmer and I wanted to travel. Then I heard from a girl that had been an AFS student in lthe United States. She got me interested, so I applied and in June I received the answer . . . l'd be spending the next year in Eden. I looked on the map. First I looked at Alaska and then Hawaii. I finally found it south of Buffalo, New York. Al had many thoughts about the year I would have in the USA. I was first afraid but now I see that I had nothing to be afraid of. I have made so many good friends and learned so much about America and myself. The things I have enioyed most was dancing in the play CAROUSEL where we were all together, teachers and students, trying to make the play the best Eden has ever made. Now I thank all my friends in school, my family, and the AFS chapter who made it all possible for me to have such a great year at Eden. Eva Konring JAGT VEG 75 6700 ESBJERG Denmark OYA I don't know. This sentence can explain my most important problem in high school. I did not know English very well but I have now learned a lot of things about it. I don't have to answer questions by I don't know anymore. There are differences between Turkish educational systems and America's sys- tem. American youngsters are very lucky because they don't have to have I5 sub- iects in a year as we do. But the young people are very much alike. I like very much Eden and ECS and American people. When'l get back to Turkey, I will terribly miss all of you and little town but big farm Eden. I will never forget you. Oya Sari Kizlarpinari Cad No. I00!2I Kegioren-Ankara Turkey
