Friends: Lauren and Balázs • My experience meeting my pen pal Balázs has been wonderful. He has become a friend to me, and I enjoy speaking to him as often as possible. When he first contacted me, we immediately started talking about our cultures and the societies we live in. It was the most fascinating thing. I learned how he was Jewish and how not many Jewish people lived in his town of Sopron, Hungary, and that they still experience discrimination. And I told him about America and how we still too, have many improvements to make. • We have discussed over the months worldly things, politics, people, literature, foods, and it has been a really great experience so far. I am glad to have connected with my pen pal this well. The pen pal experience has been the most notable thing I have done in high school, and something I will definitely continue. As Balázs and I are still friends today. :)
