Mentors shared apple pie and an American perspective on subjects such as sports, food, family, tipping, and living within the law, with students. Students from around the world, in turn, shared similar customs from their own countries. Small groups made it comfortable for conversation.

“The people were willing to talk and sometimes share very personal fears,” said mentor Karen Hudson

Mike Kuhlman, assistant superintendent for the Hart School District, said that he volunteered to help out and walked away with stories to share.

“The students’ life examples are an inspiration to work hard in the face of challenge,” Kuhlman said.

Several students said they were honored Santa Clarita community leaders took time out of their busy lives to help support them in their goal to become U.S. Citizens. “Babe” from the Philippines said she was pleased with all of the information she learned and that the classes were quite enjoyable.
