Eugenio Garcia was a foreign exchange student from Mexico who came to live in Bay City, Michigan for his sophomore year. Eugenio said that his experience in Michigan was a great opportunity to learn more about the American culture. He became bicultural, because he knew about the Mexican and American culture. Eugenio said that he knew English before he moved to Michigan, which helped a lot. After three months in Michigan he could speak very fluent English.
It would be really fun to be a foreign exchange student. You would be able to experience a different culture and learn about how they interact with each other. I think that you would have to be a very open-minded person. You would have to be able to adapt to many different situations, and go with the flow of things. The first few weeks of your stay in the country might be a little hard to adjust to because you are meeting a new family and living in a new house for the first time. I don’t think I could make it three months without seeing my family and living in an almost different world.
