Foreign Exchange Students

By

Every year, Ukiah High is honored to welcome several exchange students from around the world. Not only do these new students offer a fresh perspective about our culture, they offer great opportunity for great friendship and connection. Let’s meet them and see what they have to say about their exchange experience so far:

Alice Pascucci:

Where are you From?

I’m from Italy, in a city on the north coast.

What’s something you like about the US so far?

I like the school, and also the fact you have sports in school and school spirit. I love being a cheerleader.

What do you miss from home?

My food! Everything is sugar and cheese here.

Thiago Lundqvist:

Argentina.

What’s something you like about the US so far?

I like everything. All is different. Everything is beautiful and the people are really cool. I feel comfortable here.

What do you miss from home?

I miss my friends a lot. I miss them every day. I miss my parents sometimes too.

Also, the system of the school here is really different and is really difficult. We start classes at 7:25, and we leave sometimes at 12:00 and other times 12:45. We have three block a day, and it’s only for one subject. I prefer our system.

Anna Dolleris:

What’s something you like about the US so far?

I really like the people living here they’re really nice, I like the school system, and the weather here in California’s good. It’s nice to be a foreign exchange student. It’s cool. It’s nice to see other cultures and stuff.

What do you miss from home?

I miss my friends and family, and some of the food.

These foreign exchange students are great, kind people. So, be nice and show them what being a wildcat is all about!
