CYRIELLE ENTERTAINS ROTARY CLUB
A year living in Canada has produced many firsts for Rotary Exchange student Cyrielle Bon.She saw her first hockey game, witnessed highland dancing, rode a motorcycle, celebrated Thanksgiving, went Trick or Treating, cross-country skiing, skidooing, snowshoeing, rode a ferry, saw a rodeo and camped in a trailer.
Bon's final official presentation to her host Rotary Club in Princeton was last Wednesday's "International Night."
She shared a two part program with members and guests. The first part revolved around an educational tour of her home country France.
Coming from a country that measures roughly 950 kilometres by 1,000 kilometres Bon says, "It's very easy to go anywhere."
She explained the significance of the flag of France with blue and red - the colours of the capital Paris and white the colour of the King. The red also represents blood and historically marks the country's liberation following the revolution of 1789.
Bon then centred her attention on her home town of Augouleme. Her home is in a region of France known for it's goat milk.
Construction materials consist of stone and she attended High School Guez De Balzac. The school was named after a person who had provided large financial support to the facility, which was built by Napoleon Bonaparte in the 1500's.
Classes ran from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily with a lunch break. Students (over 1,000 of them!) have ten subjects per school year including two languages. Bon studied English, German and Russian.
The second part of her presentation was about her year in Canada and was entertaining.
Her first major point was about her schooling at PSS.
"As this year does not count for me I took classes I could not take in France. I took fun classes instead of academic classes."
Thanksgiving and Halloween are not celebrated in France, so Bon took full advantage of both traditions.
"I was the biggest kid on the street on Halloween."
She had an interest in cross country running and gave it a try. She eventually joined the team. At the end of the year Bon was presented with the Runner of the Year Award.
"Christmas was a very special thing for me because in France it's not a very big thing. Nothing fancy."
She also bonded with many people in the area.
"I think this year the most important people to me were my friends and host families."
Graduation was also a first.
"Grad is something very special to me because in France we don't have it. The whole concept of a Prom was new to me also."
After her presentation, Rotary Club members brought out a birthday cake decorated with both the flags of France and Canada.
Bon had turned 18 the day before.
She will be leaving Canada to return to her home in mid-July.
