Learning, Sharing - And it was interesting. The first goal of both was to be able to overcome if 2 the language barrier. Both toted their dictionaries along with them everywhere they went, but it was a little easier for Marek. He had a command of enough conversational English to communicate fairly well. Carlos's first thought when he realized no one here spoke Portuguese was I'm in a big trouble! He only knew yes and uno. By the time they left, both of them were writing essays in Mrs. Garvin's English I class and in Mrs. Cassell's English III, and Marek was winning Best Actor awards for his role in the state-winning UIL one act play 'tlnterviewfl Cln Germany, the teenagers don't receive much recognition for their accomplishments. This made Marek's awards even more important to him, especially, when his parents visited during Spring Break and got to see him win Best Actor in district OAP competition.J Both of the boys admitted that after speaking English for so long, they forgot some of their own language when speaking on the phone to their relatives and friends back home. Marek said, When I first came I had to translate from German to English. Now I have to translate from English to German. Carlos didn't think this would be a problem once they got home though. Carlos left Pottsboro June 12th to visit his uncle in Miami, Florida. He then went to New York to meet some friends from Brazil. He returned home July 24th. Marek applied for and received a visa extension so he could stay a little longer. Over the summer he learned to water ski and knee board, and he Earned his Texas driver's license. He flew home to Germany July 15t . Not only was America a growing and learning experience for Marek and Carlos, they helped us see how different each of us are and taught us to appreciate what we have in America. We grew very close to them through both of their stays here and will miss them. But our love for them and memories of them will stay with us forever. Marek finally finds time to take a rest when the state meet is over and the hustle and bustle of doing a production has ended. Robin Barrett, Kelly Cassell and others react to the announcement that Marek had earned Best Actor credits at regionals. 122
