These students said that people from other countries think that America is like California, New York, and Flori- da because they are cities with a lot of tourism. Not true. Harrisonls six exchange students were Tanya Alich and Viola Hen- mann from Osnabruck, West Germa- ny; Ingela Nilsson from Hoor, Swe- den; Jesper Poulson from Hjorring, Denmark; Maria Quinones from Guayaqil, Ecuador; and Friederike Volz from Bonn, Germany. 22 Exchange Studen ts 'llhree students completed the school year at Harrison while Tanya and Viola stayed only one month. Friederike stayed until the end of January. Little did many of them know that America is unlike their countries in that US. t-ities are so open.
