The Years of Hosting

My señora loves to talk about the students she hosted. She is always smiling while talking about them. In the bedroom closet, there are names of many people written in beautiful handwriting. She explained to me that everytime a person leaves from the house she writes his or her name on the closet. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea. Furthermore, she told me that she has been hosting students since 1989. She and her husband hosted hundreds of students throughout the past years.

Moreover, my señora took pictures of me as well. She said that that she saves the pictures of the students she hosts. She showed me the collection of the picture she has. I was really suprised to see how many people from different cultures she hosted throughout the past years. She hosted people from the U.S, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Anyhow, she cried for a while after she showed me a picture of a student she had from France who died in a accident on his way to the airport. I felt really sad for her because she said he was one of the best students she has ever met.

Además, mi señora me dijó que la majoria de los estudiantes que vinieron a su casa son de los EE.UU. Ella me dijó que la gente de los EE.UU hablan mas y comunican mas que la gente en Europa. Ella me dijó que hay estudiantes de Europa que casi no vivnieron a comer en su casa ni cinco veces al mes. Eso me soprendí mucho porque yo viví con una muchacha de Francia y casi no pudia parar hablando cuando empezaba a hablar. Yo creo que la gente de Europa hablan mucho pero no son acostumbrados a vivir con otras familias. Además, ella me dijó que nunca tuvo la opurtunidad a venir a los EE.UU pero quiere visitar lo el otro año. Yo le dijé que Chicago es una ciudad muy bonita. Ella respondió que va a pensar en cual estado se va a visitar.
