Among those, only three are foreign exchange students.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign exchange was created to expose youth to new places, including these places cultures, traditions, and people. For example, we may have a certain food, tradition, or manner here in America or Michigan that another country does not, or vice versa. Aurora Foresi, an eleventh grader from Italy who is only staying one semester, appreciates the new things about America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere you have a great school spirit,\u201d Foresi says. \u201cYou have a lot of things about school sports and activities. In Italy, it\u2019s not that much. We just go to school and get out of school, there\u2019s not that big of a spirit.\u201d She also points out how Dow High students have been very welcoming to her. Sophomore Joao Arenhart from Brazil agrees, saying that the students and teachers here are very nice.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"__wp-temp-img-id\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/clipartsign.com\/upload\/2016\/01\/18\/clip-art-flags-of-the-world-clipart.png\" alt=\"World of Flags\" width=\"349\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both students, however, had hoped to go somewhere other than Michigan.\u00a0&#8220;I just applied for the USA,&#8221; Foresi says.\u201cI was hoping for somewhere warmer, like California or Florida, but Michigan\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arenhart\u2019s first choices, on the other hand, were Germany and Canada.\u00a0\u201cMy second choice was Canada, I got Canada, but then I got transferred,\u201d says Arenhart. Arenhart has had three host families in the time he has been a foreign exchange student.<\/p>\n<p>The students have already been to other parts of America.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve been to New York, I\u2019ve been to Miami in the past with my family,\u201d Foresi said. \u201cWith my \u2018here\u2019 family I\u2019ve been to Chicago, Detroit.\u201d Arenhart says he has also visited New York. Both say they loved Times Square and hope to visit again.<\/p>\n<p>There are some parts of the culture here they don\u2019t particularly like. Says Arenhart, \u201cMilk. Everybody drinks milk, it sucks. Like milk with whatever. Usually I drink water. It was like a shock for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, though there\u2019s the sparkle of going to new places, there\u2019s always the drawback of leaving home.\u00a0\u201cI miss my friends, I miss my family and my boyfriend,\u201d says Foresi. \u201cI miss my normal life.\u201d Arenhart, in turn, says he misses his dogs the most.\u00a0\u201cI have five,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in hosting a foreign exchange student, you can click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cci-exchange.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, or if you are interested in becoming a foreign exchange student yourself, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afsusa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/landing\/adwordsmobile_2.asp?gclid=Cj0KEQjw0dy4BRCuuL_e5MeqmNABEiQAq8iNI-q-chnaGjy_u1So7ASXhDhjHW0vLyCLOC7ZOLvx_OIaAir18P8HAQ\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/asse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By: Madeleine J Jones<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHS has 1263 students within its walls.
