“There were many activities that I participated in while at the school. The students would ask us questions about American life and what we are
interested in. I also attended my partner’s classes. One of the most memorable activities that we did was a debate presentation. Also after school we
went to many school activities such as the summer party and a show the 13th grade created.”
– Matt Mishler, Chesterton High
School, IN

“Yes, I love the German language and this exchange has made me fall in love with Germany. It’s no longer just a country –it’s people.”
– Jennifer Elle, Skyview High School, ID
Students’ Quotes
“A lot of the hate in the world comes from not understanding another’s culture. But I’m hoping that through
programs like GAPP, we will both learn that there is a difference between the government and the people. I think a lot of us
have learned important lessons such as this.”

Teacher’s Quotes
“The exchange also showed how important different learning environments for individual students are.
One student almost failed my German class just because he had a hard time learning in a classroom setting.
But he was the student who spoke with everybody at all times German and that way he spoke almost fluently
by the time he had to leave.”

Parents’ Quotes
“Alison’s trip to Germany was the highlight of her high school experience. When she returned home, she spent the rest of the summer compiling
a scrapbook of her experience and sharing that experience with anyone who would listen. This enthusiasm
is rare in her or any high school senior.”
