8 Other countries found in Howells Dodge By Marten Terpstra Howells Dodge has two exchange students representing their countries, Simon Kristiansen of Denmark and Marten Terpstra of the Netherlands. These students have the opportunity to learn more about the American culture, American customs and the English language. For the exchange students, this is a great opportunity that not everyone gets. It is really exciting, but also kind of frightening, because you are on the other side of the globe. Some people do not know the language very well and they will struggle making friends and adapting. EF, the exchange program company, has to do a background check with the host family and find the perfect host family for the students. The students do not choose the family the family, chooses the students. After a bit, a lot of students will become homesick. If you notice a change in attitude in any of the two exchange students, just ask them how they are doing and if they are homesick, because they most likely will be homesick. When they have been here for a couple of months they will experience a culture shock because some of the things you will see as normal, they don t. Ask them to hang out sometime if you notice that they aren t doing as well as they should. They are homesick and the best thing to do when they feel homesick is talk to them, hang out with them and do not remind them of their home country, but let them see how great America can be. Do fun stuff with them, take them somewhere. If an exchange student is caught doing something that is against the law, they will be sent back to their home country, their visa will be taken away and they aren t allowed entrance to the USA for 10 years because of EF s zero tolerance policy. Exchange students are also willing to share information about their country and their culture just like you should share American culture and American traditions with them so they know what to expect. In the Netherlands, we do not have Thanksgiving, Halloween, or American football. We have different types of food. Some foods here we do not know. We also have different customs and traditions.
