AF.5. STUDENTS When I left a year ago for Argentina I didn't know what I'd gotten myself into. The first few months were spent just trying to communicate. I used sign language, drew pictures, and made noises just to get others to understand. As the months passed I began to understand and be understood by others. Once the language barrier was broken the year flew by. It was a wonderful experience for me. When it was time to leave 1 had mixed feelings, I was sad to be leaving, but happy to be coming home. Now that I'm back with family, friends, and back in PHS it feels GREAT!!!!! Its really nice to be back home. LORI DENISE WATTS Waiting for your cue Mike? A smile of perfection! I remember my first days in the United States as one big confusion because I was so excited about getting to know a lot of new people and new things, hardly understanding anything of this language. But very soon I started feeling at home in this country, encouraged by the friendly and helpful attitude which all the Americans showed. It is exciting to discover a new way of life with different customs, a different school, different food, etc. I especially enjoyed the many sports activities which schools in my country don't offer and the Band where I was taught how to make music (or noise) on the xylophone. 1 was also a member of the NHS and, of course the AFS Club. This year is a wonderful year for me in every way. and I want to thank the Paxton High School , my host family and all the students and teachers for everything they did to make it an experience I will never forget. I hope that you will come to Switzerland sometime to visit me, giving me a chance to return your great hospitality.
