Thoughts about a New JP student

Yesterday at school, I discovered there was a new JP exchange student. Though he seemed to understand English quite well but he could not speak it. The strange thing is everyone seemed to be interested in him! I find it quite amazing that even though America is so diversified, foreigners are still a subject of attention. It is so awesome that even though all our cultures are mixed, we still can be so interested in other cultures.
I remember one day my geography class asked weather America was a melting pot where cultures are mixed into one big one or a salad in which things are mixed but not in a solution. Today, I feel that it is a melting pot. Our cultures are so mixed together that it is no longer recognizable from our past ones. That is why we can be so interested in other cultures and other people from other countries.
