Smiling to classmates as she finishes her day's assignment in 7th period World History, Renata Cunha waits for the bell to ring. Giving Year of Your Life ne of my goals in life has always been to study abroad. said Renata Cunha, foreign exchange student from SSo Paulo, Brazil. “I wanted to see the different kinds of life, costumes, and people so I chose to become an exchange student. added Renata, who was sponsored by the Rotary Club. Arriving in Junction in January, Renata saw many new things including snow for the first time. Sometimes, I miss SSlo Paulo, however, my host family is wonderful and the people here look at me kindly and help me and I try to think that in 1986 I will be back home so I enjoy everything I can while I’m here.” said Renata. School subjects were easier here according to Renata “In Brazil, you have to study much more. Coming from SSo Paulo with its population of 2,197,360, Renata felt quite a change when she came to Junction with its population of only 2,500. I like small towns because everybody knows everybody. said Renata. Hobbies for Renata include dancing, reading, listening to music, and cooking. This summer she will try to swim on the river which is a new experience for her. As Renata left SSo Paulo in January and said her goodbyes to her family, friends, and classmates, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to see her home for a year. Yet, she came to Junction to make new friends, experience new cultures, and find out about another way of life. BnuXKiuri JUS 25

Careers of Tomorrow Several students of JHS knew what their plans for after graduation would be and some began planning for their careers while still in high school. “Drafting is my favorite class because it will help me in college.” said Doby Murr, who plans to become an engineer. The career plans ranged greatly from becoming a nurse (Carla Davis), to going into the Air Force (Matt Crowell). I chose to become an elementary teacher because I enjoy being able to help kids learn. said Christine Hardesty. The colleges chosen by the students also varied from Texas Tech University, chosen by Corrine Robles where she will study Fashion Merchandising, to Schriener College, chosen by Courtney Wicker, where she will study Accounting. Some students such as Jesus Salazar chose to go straight to work instead of going to college. Some students knew that they wanted to go to college but weren't sure of their careers, for example Anastacia Molina and Chris Castillio. Tony Martinez wanted to work for a year and then learn his trade of computer programming. Most students had an idea of their career plans and with their studies at JHS, these plans would be possible careers for our adults of tomorrow. CAftFFftS jhs 27
