Culture Shock. This year Enloe has Elzada Akylbekova (11), Aitona Martinez (11), Lila Vallot (11), Celine Guerkan (11), Zeynep
welcomed five year-long foreign exchange Akyol (11)
students. Each girl came from a different
country: Russia, Spain, France, Germany and
Turkey. The five girls became friends fast,
bonding over the trials and tribulations of
adjusting to life in a new country, away from
their friends and family, and, of course, their
native languages. They all seemed to agree
that coming to school in America has been a
wonderful learning experience but that it is
“not at all like the American movies”. Junior
Aitana Martinez jumped right into her life
here in America by joining the Cross Country
team at summer practices. She says that she
loves experiencing the “holidays and parties
lson, 9 that they we do not have in Mallorca [Spain].”
