R-9 Exchange Student Tells of Experience in Spain

Sophia Currie presented the program to members of the Trenton Rotary Club during the club meeting on Thursday, June 15 at the BTC Bank community room. Jackie Soptic presided at the meeting, Joe MacDonald gave the prayer and Brian Upton was the sergeant at arms. Mrs. Soptic also introduced the program.

Sophia, who will be a junior at Trenton High School this fall, spent the past year in Spain as an exchange student through the Rotary Exchange program. She lived for a year with families in Catalunya, which is an automonous community of Spain and is located on the east edge of the country. Catalunya has its own language, with Spanish actually being the area’s second language. Sophia said that in addition to attending school there, she was able to visit many places and take part in various activities, including “carnival” in Sidges and a religious walk in Camino deSantiago. She was also able to spend time with the family of exchange student Carlotta Gonzalvez, who stayed in Trenton while Sophia was in Spain. Sophia also shared several mementos she brought back with her as well as a gift from her host club that was given to the Trenton club. She was accompanied to the meeting by her parents, Josh and Amy Currie. Amy is a former exchange student to Mexico and was sponsored by the Trenton club. During the business meeting, the club presented a $605 check to the Bright Futures Trenton shoes project. The money was collected as part of the club’s participation in the Rotary District Shoes for Orphan Souls program. Terri Critten and Adrianne Todd accepted the donation on behalf of Bright Futures. Also announced was the 50th anniversary celebration for ServeLink on July 7 and the customer appreciation event at
