The MAIN EVENTS for our foreign students was to We at NACHS are always happy to meet new people, but we were especially glad to welcome Yumiko Kashiwazaki, daughter of Susumu and Shigeko Kashiwazaki of Utsunomiya, Japan. Yumiko stayed with Tom and Shirley May of Lenzburg during her visit to the United States. Yumiko celebrated her 18th birthday in January. In Japan she would be attending Utsunoniuya Girls High School, a school of 1,200 students. Her father is employed as a senior engineer for Hitachi, Ltd. and her mother teaches calligraphy. Her younger brother, Manabu, is a high school student. Her most difficult adjustment to the United States was the speed of the conversational English, which she was supposed to understand. She gives credit to her Basic Grammar Class for helping her the most while she was enrolled to NACHS. In her spare time Yumiko likes to swim, do calligraphy, cook, read, arrange flowers, and do origami (paper-folding). In her country she won awards in calligraphy contests and belonged to the calligraphy club at her school. She was also a member of the swimming club. Yumiko credits herself with being a fast learner and is easy to get along with. Her future plans include returning to Japan to graduate from Japanese High School. She would like to go on to college and study more English. Yumiko offered this comment about the past year: I have enjoyed my stay in New Athens and my time at New Athens High School. 1 want to thank all of the students, teachers, and administrators who have helped me while I was here.

become accustomed to the American way of life. Fabiola Auxifiado Perez Sequiral, a native of Boaco, Nicaragua, became a very welcome guest to New Athens at the beginning of the second semester last year. Anyone who got to know Fabiola will agree that she was a shy, very sweet girl with a lot of determination. She came here knowing very little about our language, and through the help of the students, teachers, and people of New Athens, can now speak, write, and understand it very well. Fabiola says that when she arrived not knowing what to do and not knowing if she was doing the right thing was what she feared the most, but after being here awhile she realized that we all feared doing something that she thought was wrong or saying something that might offend her, so she let down her guard and made many new friends. While she was here, Fabiola enrolled in history, world literature, health, career education, consumer education, physical education, and driver's education. In her spare time, Fabiola enjoys reading, horseback riding, biking, and swimming. Fabiola thinks the biggest difference between her country and ours is that people are more friendly and more open. Also there are many places to visit when you want to. She also says that the friendly people are what she likes best about the United States and New Athens. This year Fabiola celebrated her 20th birthday with us at Maria Wayland's home. She says that and when she started understanding what people were talking about were her most memorable moments here. Fabiola misses her country and her friends very much, but is looking forward to seeing her parents and five brothers and sisters. She would also like to enroll as a business major at a Miami, Florida university. Fabiola wanted to end her time in New Athens High School by saying thanks to everyone who helped her improve her English, and by giving a special thank you to Mr. Martin and Mr. Powers for the aid they gave her in their classes. MIDDLE LEFT: Carey Stallmann and Michelle Stroh try to convince Fabiola that it is okay to dress like a nerd during Homecoming week. LOWER LEFT: Fabiola enjoyed all the times she spent with her friends even if sometimes it was over cafeteria food. LOWER CENTER: One of Fa-biola's favorite classes was American Government with Mr. Powers. Foreign Students 15
