Summer . . . Autumn . . . Winter . . . words never used in the City of Eternal Spring, Medellin - Colombia. Since mid-August I have been experiencing seasons for the first time while a whole new culture - somewhat similar and yet very different from that of Colombia - is displayed to me. My experience at North Haven has been very valuable and enjoyable. Starting with my school experience, I have been able to join the youth environment and feel like one of the gang assimilating the common ideals and learning the American style of life. As a senior at North Haven High, I have chosen my subjects, which would have been impossible to do in Colombian schools, since in our private education, 12 given subjects are required for every year by the government. Being here I have found a wonderful atmosphere for my study of music, I have studied clarinet for 12 years and, unquestionably, this has been most personally satisfying and rewarding. But of all the wonderful things here, there is nothing that can be compared with the wonderful people, people full of warm feelings and the kindest thoughts, people I will keep in my heart and my mind along with those unforgetable experiences I have had in North Haven. Only one year of my life I could be an AFS'er, and I wish that year never ended but the words of one meaningful song bring me back to reality: Todo pasa, todo queda, todo lo nuestro es pasar, pasar haciendo camino, camino sobre la mar. . . . Caminante, no hay caminog se hace camino al andarf' I will go on making my way through life, someday I will come back to the U.S. to complete my education in Nuclear Physics, and I will be sure to include North Haven in my way. Lastly, I am most sincerely grateful to all of you participating in my experience, AFS, Krigbaum family, North Haven High, and all of those whom I met and made my stay highly enjoyable. And back to the land of mountains, en la ciudad de eterna primavera, I will be waiting for you with my open arms, my open heart, saying walk together, talk together.
