CINEMA PHS

This is our Cinema Perham High School.
In the first picture you can see a person arriving to this high school. For us it is more a new high school, with a different language in a totally different country. The person on the picture looks very excited, just like we were when we came here. The movements and the way she walks already shows that she is anxious to go inside and see part of her new life.
The second picture shows a trade with fast food on it. This is a very typical american meal for us. In our home countries we eat very different food from this, so the picture also represents the cultural differences between here and our real homes. The picture is also a symbol for us gaining a lot of weight, probably because there is such a big difference between the varieties of food.
In America it's a lot of fast food, Burgers, Sandwiches, French Fries,... and in our countries we often ate veggies and fruits, just way healthier food.
The third picture is a person standing in front of the school. It represents that the person finished this Exchange Year and you can see a couple paths. That should mean that after we are done with this High School Year we have to choose a path to walk along. It will be a hard decision, but everybody will have to make it. There is no way around it.
The fourth picture shows us three after this year. Eventhough it was only a year that we stayed here, we grew into more mature women. This exchange year helped us a lot to be more grown-up and that might help us with making our desicions of which path we should choose for our future lives.
If I would compare this to the movie that we watched called " Cinema Paradiso", I think the first picture refers to Toto who came to that movie theatre. He didn't really know what to expect, just like us, when we came to PHS. He just wanted to know how to work the theatre, like us, we wanted to know what the shoolsytem is like.
The second picture is with us ganing weight and Toto gained wisdom. Wisdom how to work in the theatre, because Alberto teached him how to.
The third picture is Toto leaving the theatre, after Alberto got blind, he did not want him to have the same life. So he tells him to never come back.
With us it will be different, because we will be happy to come back and visit everybody again.
The last but not least picture is us and we turned into women, just like Toto did into a young and mature man.
