Colombian student enjoys U.S. As a foreign exchange student, Juan Pablo Sanchez experienced different things in America than in his native born Colombia, South America home. His host parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucky Mock, opened their doors to allow Juan to experi- ence the hospitality of the Ameri- can people. Juan reflected upon his thoughts of America in the following inter- view: How are teenagers different here than in Colombia? Teenag ers in Colombia don’t have cars and aren’t able to drive at such an early age. Teenagers there have places to go, such as discos, and don’t worry about curfew as much. Do you like high school? Yes, it is a lot different. More studying down in Colombia, not as much here. | like pep rallies, foot- ball games, and all student activities. What made you want to come to America? To learn English, and for having for college an experience. What really stands out in your mind about America? Their government is good. Ser- vices such as roads, schools, etc. that people pay for in Colombia are free here. | like that everybody can participate in sports here. In Co- lombia, children are kept from sports because of social class. 8 Mini-Mag
