I recently interviewed several students from different places, who are currently students at TCA. I wanted to hear their own opinions and experiences when studying in the United States and the country they come from. To understand, I interviewed student Domenica Camacho (Grade 12), who spent several of her years earning an education in the United States and in Ecuador Guyaqin. This led me to interview her because I wanted to understand her experience in the United States and the country she studied in during her childhood.

Where did you study?

“ Ecuador Guayaqin”

For how long have you studied in Ecuador?

“ Like 8 years when I was younger from kindergarten to fourth grade.”

How was the curriculum in Ecuador?

“ It was hard because they would like give to many homework for each class.”

How did you feel when studying in Ecuador and the United States? 

“ Here is more easier and more free and over there is like too much stress.”

Were you able to feel more comfortable with the help you were getting in Ecuador or in the United States? 

“More here because is like the teachers can explain subjects more and have time to help give us resources.”
