Pagosa Springs Rotary Club
We are very excited to welcome our next Rotary Exchange Student, Laura Delgado. Laura is from Santo Antonio de Padua, or 'Padua' a small town about 4 hours from Rio de Janerio in Brazil. Padua has a population of approximately 40,500 people so our Pagosa might seem a bit small to her.
She has an impressive list of studies at her school with interestingly enough, three language courses; English, Spanish and Portuguese. Her least favorite classes are Math and Spanish. Laura's other study subjects include; history, geography, writing, chemistry, biology, physics, literature, philosophy, sociology and physical education. She also loves to read.
Watching movies at home with her mom and going out with her friends are some of the activities she enjoys. Most teenagers will like to eat pizza and hamburgers - but Laura adds Japanese food to Laura's list too! Those things along with tea, ice cream and pancakes are also on her list.
Laura's first host family will be Bill & Misti Smyth. They have a daughter, Ashley, that is the same age as Laura.
