Mexico City Students Visit Cy-Fair
By John Wise
In an attempt to strengthen
relations between the citizens of
Mexico and the United States, the
Pan American Student Forum
(PASF) and the Good Neighbor
Commission (GNC) sponsored an
exchange program in which ten
students from Mexico City visited
Texas.
The exchange students were
hosted by PASF members in the
Cy-Fair school district — eight of
them being Cy-Fair students and
two of them being students at
Jersey Village.
“The purpose of the exchange
program is for us (the Mexican
students) to learn the way Ameri-
cans live, learn, and transmit
feelings to one another,” said Sr.
Dabdoub, one of the Mexican
sponsors.
The exchange students arrived
in Houston on the afternoon of
Tuesday, March 24, and were
introduced to their hosts that
evening.
The following day, they atten-
ded school for the entire day with
their hosts, and that evening, there
was a dinner held at Cy-Fair in
their honor. At the dinner a cake
was cut by a member from each
country, signifying “that the blood
that flows in each of us is the
same.” Also at the dinner, a
candle was lit so that the lights
of Mexico would shine in Cy-Fair.
“There are differences between
your school and ours. Our classes
last two hours, and here the
classes last only an hour. The
hours are very different, we have
four terms, from 7 to 11, 10 to
2, 2 to 6, and the last from 5 to
9, and we don’t have lunch-time.
Also, we are free to come and go
as we please from the classes. We
do not have to have the permission
of the teacher as you do here,”
said Laura Rodriguez, exchange
student from Mexico City.
“I think that Mexican students,
at least the ones that I know, take
school a lot more seriously than
American students,” replied Erica
Inzunza, exchange student from
Mexico City.
Thursday two Spanish teachers,
Mrs. Connie Kunkel and Mrs.
Karen Watson, along with some
of the Spanish III and IV students,
accompanied the exchange stu-
dents on a tour of the city.
The group left at 9:00 that
morning, and the first stop on the
trip was the Galleria. The students
were impressed with the mall, and
some went shopping while others
only looked. Many talked of the
expensive prices and bad economy
in Mexico.
Afterwards, they all went to the
