Welcome to your blog! Throughout the year you'll have weekly opportunities to add to this website to help your families and friends see your American lives unfold. Blogging, if you're not familiar with this media, involves taking pictures, downloading them to the blog, and then writing a short description.

For now, go study!

Luiz Gustavo Ristow

International exchange student Luiz Gustavo Ristow is a 16-year-old from Joinville, Brazil (click on photo above for further information), who loves soccer and math. Joinville has 600,000 citizens, so Luiz will find the town of Rumford (7,000) a unique experience. Why America? "I want to go to America to learn to speak English fluently, for life experiences, to grow as a person, and to learn another culture." Luiz says he's interested in international business or teaching P.E. though he knows he has time for making that decision. Luiz looks forward to being a brother to Yago and racing Rich through the mountain paths to see just how old his host dad is!

Yago Ceballos

International exchange student Yago Ceballos of El Puerto Des Santa Maria, Spain (click on photo), will turn 15 years old in September. He's an avid sailor, plays soccer, and plans to become a Spanish Naval officer like his dad. Why America? "I want to go to America because I want to know different people like you, Rich, who will help me to open my mind. I think I will improve as a person living with you and Luiz." Naturally, Yago wants to improve his English, make many American friends, and to create a lifelong friendship with his Brazilian brother, Luiz, and his American host dad, Rich.
