AFS - CHAI 81 RICK...G00dbVe Seniors: lt's very hard for me to s ta te, city, community, expressm feelings in words and, especially, your a b o u t the past year that I have spent in your country, school. As an exchange student I found out that a Dear Trojans, To introduce myself, I am Ricardo Schonfeld, your AFS student from Argentina. Yes, Argentina is my c o u nt r y, the land where I was born, the place where I was raised. I come from a small familyg my father, 44 years old, isa chemical engineer: my mother, 39, is a house wife , no w studying third year of Law, and my only roft her, Roby, 12, getting re ad y to start high school next year. My life in this city was quite different compared to here. Back there I was a tt e nd ing a military aca- demy: Liceo Militar General San Martin . O u r school year runs from M a rch through December. Therefore, because of this visit to your countrty I have- n't graduated rom high school yet. Once back in my countrylwill have to. 1 . cut my hair, and go back to th e academy for five more months. Sports are an important activity in my school, because as onlya few of the other schools we have our own soccer. rugby, basket- ball. tennis. track and other fields or courts. Here I was on the football team. It was quite an ex- perience, especially the first two w eeks when I didn't k no w w h at was going on, how ever, I had to follow everybody running, jump- ing, etc, etc.. .. The relationship bet- w e e n teachers and students is quite different. We must si t straight the whole hour, a nd w hen we talk to them w e usually mention the w ord Sir . We also wear u niforms to schoolg most of th e pri v at e schools have their ow n uniforms, with c oats and ties. The public schools have also uniforms, kind ofa white shop coat' . Now when the year is al- most over, I begin to think in what has happened. I also look to the future and I see hopefully. . . along way to go, but believe me will never forget this year in your country, this year with you. Many were the things I have learned from you, and m a ny the activities I have enjoyed with you. To all of you, to the authorities of the school, to my counselor, my teachers, to all those that in one way or another helped to make this year something that I'll gear for me seems short, ecause now it's time for me to go back home. t But it seems to me like I ju s t c a me ,here be.capse5I.a have enjoyed myself while' the time has gone. I don't know that I've done a good job or not while l am here, but, believe me, I've tried as much as I could. I enjoy talking and knowing seniors both boys and girls. I don 't know how many of you that l've known, but I try to know as many as I could. As you know, no one is perfect then Iam sure there are some seniors thatl don't know. I would like to tell you that it 's honored for me to have a chance to graduate w ith you, Senior Class of '70, and to attend your school for a whole year. l would like to thank all of you that helped me, talked to me, said to me, and other things. Under the American Field Service I cam e here to spend one year of my life in America, to ex- change ideas, to learn new things, and to tell you about my country. l know I am going to leave West Covina, a place where I have spent a year, my home, my school, etc. , late in June. All AFS students will have a bus trip to New York. My friend and I are going to fly from New York, July 19 to Bangkok, capital of Thailand. I will go back to study in Prince o Songkhla University -Science Faculty. Hopefully, Iam going to be a doctor. So this is probably the las t chance for me to talk to you. No words can express my feelings except, Thank you for everything you 've done for me. I will never forget this year for the rest of m y life. If in anyway I can help you, please con- tact meg I will be glad to help you. A nd if you have time to write a letter, please do. I will appreciate that. If some of you have a chance to go to Thailand, please stop by and say hi to me. I hope you will re- memberme somehow when you hear the word Thailand. Chai from Thailand will remind you. Iwish you all the best of luck in your future years. never torget, and very es- pecially to mLAmerican families, THAN YOU ALL VERY MUCH. For you seniors, you that a re also living with me. let's promise something all togeth er: The name of Trojans will be always with us, and so m eho w . some- ti ni e, we will be together again. . .
