I iusr Tried. For seven mon+hs I passed Iesfs af Iop speed. In June I re- ceived a Ieirer from Ihe American Fieid Service in New York giving me Ihe honor and Ihe responsibiIiIy of represenfing Spain in The Iar wesrern ciIy of Lakeview, Oregon. The peopIe of 'rhe Unifed Srafes have surprised me in a number of ways. In Spain every ac? is ruIed by reIigion, hisIory and fradirion from generafions pasI. Breaking Ihese Iradifions is alrnosf a crime. Spain is a very conservafive coun+ry. I-Iow. Ihen, can Ihe UniIecI SIaIes assimiIaIe people from every counfr in Ihe world. and, in one gene-raI'ion or Iless, make 'rhem info Ioyal Americans? Affer Iwo monrhs I began Io unders+and. WhiIe I am more Spanish Ihan ever I was in Spain, yeI I am accep+ed by aII as Ihough I were an Amer- ican, and I IeeI very much af home here. I cannof IeII how much of Ihe Amer- ican a++i+udes and ways of Iife I wiII refain when I refurn Io Spain. We are a veiy naIionaIisIic people. The Spanish is besI. BUI I shaII nof Iorgef my new undersfand- ing of America and Americans. I promise Io 'fry Io help ofher young Spaniards 'Io undersfand you foo. They wan+ Io under- sfand you. Ma I assure you Ihaf UncIe Sam gers many Iriends among Ihe sfudenfs of Ihe American FieId Service program, These friends wiII 'fry Io build be+Ier under- sranding berween our naIions, undersfand- ing based on knowledge and Iriendshi .
