Riekards Hosts Peruvian Exchange Student Everyone was friendly and nice and everyone was willing to help me out when l was lost! This was the first impression of Beatriz Alvitez, Rickards exchange student, when she enrolled at Rickards. Betty,as she liked to be called,came to Rickards from Trujillo, Peru, under the auspices of the Fellowship Institute. She was graduated from a Catholic school at 15 years of age and decided to come to the United States to learn English because she would like to become a bilingual secretary. She thought that coming to the United States would help her to learn the English language as it is spoken in this country. The two main things that she found different in the United States than in Peru were schools and the way of living. ln Peru boys and girls don't study together, she said, and the life style is more relaxing and comfort- able. Here you get to do your own things. In Peru maids do almost everything. At Rickards she studied typing, shorthand, physical education, biology, drama, and American history. She also filled her time with bowling and guitar playing. fAbovej Betty Alvitez concentrates hard for test answers in one of her major classes. fLeffj Betty enjoys a View of school.
