A Foreign Touch Added To SCC
Here at SCC, we have
two students from
foreign countires. They
are John Jenrette from
Venezuela, and
Kiraporn Pramoj from
Thailand.
John'has only been in
North Carolina since
the first of the summer
and has found the place
quite likeable. He has
one brother and three
sisters. His father
raises tobacco for a
living and his mother is
a housewife. In com
paring our schools with
the Venezuelan schools,
John finds them very
much the same except
for one big difference -
the students there
speak Spanish. For
entertainment John
and his pals enjoy
discotheques in
Venezuela^ Like us,
they eat lots of hotdogs
and hamburgers. A
very interesting fact is,
that upon graduating
from nigh school in
Venezuela, a student is
ready for his third year
of college in the United
States. When asked his
opinion of the U.S.,
John replied. “I hke it
because there are lots
of things to do, but I
dislike the fact that
there are so many
problems.”
graduation from SCC,
John plans to return to
Venezuela to live.
Jiraporn has been in
the states for two yeare.
Before coming to SCC,
she completed the
courses in the Airline
Receptionist Program
at a coUege in North

schools here are
somewhat different
from the schools in
Thailand. The students
there wear uniforms
and they .have more
rules than we do. To
enter into the college in
Thailand, the studente
must pass a test If
they do not pass the
first time, they have to
wait until the next year
and try again. She also
finds that the students
here are much nicer.
They help each other,
whereas, in Thailand
you are pretty much on
your own. When asked
what she likes most
atout the United States,
Jiraporn stated that
“The offered education
is much better and

The 4 C’s better
known as the Columbus
County Community
Center has now of
ficially been open for
one month. For Rabbi
Reuben Kesner, Bill
Ghent, and others, it
has been a trial period
for dealing with various
situations involving
time schedules, ac
tivities to be held, fund
raising and other
necessary functions for
a successful com
munity center. All of
these concerns are
being met with
reasonable success.
The primary goal has
been tor community

places to visit.” She
dislikes most the fact
that “there is lots of
corruption.” Jiraporn
is working toward a
degree for teaching
mathematics.

brought about promises
of donations and sup

not only raised money
for the 4 C’s, but also
sparked enthusiasm
from young people who
attend the center.
Additional support is
needed if the center is
to remain open and
