Marcos Bonafede
Marcos Bonafede and his family moved to the United States from Argentina
after his mother won a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the U.S. She
chose to attend Wayne State and now teaches Spanish locally. Eleven year
old Marcos was excited for the change at the time, but was also a little
frightened about leaving behind loved ones and learning a new language.
Marcos is thankful for the friendship of a boy from Spain who helped him
make friends and learn the culture. Economic conditions in Argentina have
suffered a downfall in recent years and Marcos knows that he would not
have such luxuries as his own car, central heating and air, or video games
if he still lived there. He misses the family he left behind in Argentina,
especially during the holiday seasons, and the food. Marcos plans to attend
college next fall to study International Relations.
