please don't be mad at me if i borrow him in midwest.... i was once an exchange kid to germany myself.. :-D

and don't be discouraged because of accents... i was so self concious of that when i was over there, but people understood me if they actually took the time to listen, and after a while i made sense...i think :-P. odds are that they understand us more often than we do them. (i know this one from experience) we've had people from brazil on the team before.

Encourage your exchange students! I hope FIRST can spread all over the place eventually.. think of all the ideas!!




**By the way... if anyone's on a team up in Sarnia, Canada and goes to St. Patrick academy or something like that, say hi to your exchange student Irene for me. And encourage her to join the team, she's my host sister... and i mean, if Sarnia's that close to detroit and detroit has a lot of teams... someone should be able to get her on a team heehee!
