  Bonneville High School’s Foreign exchange students come from many different places. The school always welcomes them. Ines Ferrin Ropero is one of the many exchange students Bonneville has this year. Ropero is from a little town in Spain. The school in Spain for Ropero is “the worst thing ever” because there are no school sports or activities, and they cannot choose their desired subjects. The teachers in Spain were really exigent, so Ropero used to study five to six hours every day to maintain her grades. During the weekends in Spain, Ropero would study even more instead of going out with friends. Since school was her priority, she did not go out much on the weekends or spend time with friends. Here in the United States, Ropero absolutely loves school here. Ropero’s favorite thing about school in the U.S are the teachers because they are really nice and care about the students. Ropero could not choose the school neither in the country because she got a scholarship. Half of the scholarships were for Canada and half for the U.S. When Ropero first came to the U.S, she thought that people were not going to be that nice, but then she realized they are the kindest people she had ever met. Ropero’s favorite subject at BHS is biology because they do plenty of different activities. Her least favorite subject is math because she has already learned everything. Here in the U.S for the weekends Ropero hangs out with her friends, and they all love doing different things like laser tag, ice skating, and bowling. During her freetime she likes to go to the mountains or go on walks here in Idaho. In Spain, Ropero has one younger brother, and here in the U.S she has four host siblings.
