Two foreign exchange students who are seniors at Sevastopol High School are adjusting well to their year abroad in Door County. Aurora Breci, from Milan, Italy, and Catalina Gobbato, from Corral de Bustos, Argentina, arrived in the United States in August as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. Aurora, sponsored by the Sturgeon Bay Noon Rotary Club, says the most significant difference in the education process in Italy and the United States is the moving from classroom to classroom at Sevastopol High School rather than staying in one setting with the same students. She says her memorable first day in America included attending the Demolition Derby at the Door County Fair.
Catalina, who the Door County North Rotary Club sponsors, said she struggled with English when she first arrived. However, her English has improved considerably over the first semester of the school year. She says her most exciting time outside of school was attending the Green Bay Packers-Los Angeles Chargers game at Lambeau Field last month.
