AFS Student I come from Munich, West Germary, a town with 1.8 million citizens. I don't live downtown but still in Munich. I like to downhill ski, windsurf, play tennis, take trips to other countries, and qo out with friends to concerts and bars. In Germany the drinking age is sixteen. I would like to explain how I became an AFS student. In October of 1982, a teacher at my school told the class about the possibility of going to the United States for one year. Twenty pupils from our school applied, and only fifty from Munich. I spent a weekend with the other students who applied. The only chosen ones from my school were my best friend Alexander Raul and me. Alexander has been in Brazil since February of 1983. I spent five more weekends with the other AFS-ers, and people who had already re turned from abroad with AFS. I left Germany on the 18th of September. I encountered many problems because sixty percent of American families wanted girls. 3000 AFS students from all over the world spent the past year in the U.S., 285 from Germany. My first impression of America was “like totally different school sys-temlM Here you can choose most of your classes. In Germany we have to take thirteen, four of them in language. The teachers come to us so we stay in the same room all year. We have more academic subjects rather than practical ones like cooking and computers. Another big difference is the food. I don’t like it! The temperature and climate are nearly the same here as In Germany. The people I have met are all very nice to me. The teachers help me in any way to get better grades. The only class I have problems with is Social Problems because of all the technical terms. I am happy to be at a small school like OHS because everybody knows everybody. It is a very nice community and I am sure I will miss it when I return to Germany. I have stayed with the Ivan Reetz family and I like them all very much. Norbert Kreuzer 15
