Peru trip: ‘quite an experience’
by TERRY MARTIN
Around this time last year San
dy High School senior Kelly
Spradlin# took a trip with 15 other
students to Peru, through the
American Field Service < AFSi.
Now a year later and one year
older. Spradltng is back in Sandy
to describe her journey as “quite
an experience ’’
During the visit she changed
families three times and stayed in
two cities
“ My first family was really
stuck up I was more a status sym
bol to them and I didn't like that,**
she said
“ M y second fa m ily broke
because I had problems with the
AFS president This was while I
was staying in Piura, this was
really a small town
“ My last family was really
neat, they lived in Trujillo This
was basically from October to
January when I had a really good
time,** said Spradling
The two high schools Spradling
attended were both p riv a te ,
Catholic a ll—girl schools.
"A ll schools throughout the
country have uniforms exactly
alike, except each individual
school has an insignia on the arms
of the uniforms So, if a student is
caught not in school, they know
which school to call
'Also, they go to school from
the end of April to January, where
we go from September to June,’’
she said.
Overall, Spradling felt sym
pa thy for the Peruvians
" I feel really sorry for the Peru
vians," she said “ They really
don't have a future They have
eight to 12 universities in the coun-
llflp *

“ A month later I went back to
school and everyone was angry
with me." Spradling said. “ Come
to find out, nobody contacted the
school about my vacation, so they
were ready to kick me out So I
didn't return to school until Oc
tober
“ I also had problems with the
president <of AFS) spreading
rumors about me which made it
hard to make friends In my first
house I wasn't allowed to date, or
go anywhere When everyone
went out for the evening I would
have to stay home with the maids,
because he had told them I could
not be trusted,” she said
“ Out of the 15 that went, only
two were satisfied with AFS They
really didn't care what we did as
long as we gave AFS a good
name '*
«
Spradling feels that even with
the hassles she encountered, she
would be an exchange student
again
Kelly Spradling
try, and out of the thousands that
apply for acceptance, well maybe
only 150 will be accepted
"They just don't have any op
portunities The Peruvian people
are really nice and friendly. The
young people are really im
mature, I mean really immature
Going to high school there was
like being back in junior high.”
During her tim e in Peru,
Spradling encountered problems
that she didn't expect,
“Lots of kids had problems The
AFS committee caused problems
for many students In August I
took a vacation to the mountains I
cleared it with AFS They said,
fine, they would contact the school
and tell them where I was, etc
" I really learned patience from
this experience, an extrem e
amount of patience I also grew up
a lot in this past year, probably
more than I would have in five
years Mainly because I found the
only one I could depend on was
myself I feel good about the trip,
but bad about AFS," she said
Spradling plans to apply for an
exchange program that will take
her to New Zealand this summer
If she doesn't go this trip she
will apply for a college exchange
to Europe She has already been
accepted to Oregon State Univer
sity's School of Engineering and
will apply for the exchange her
sophomore year of college
