You have a great name - my name is Marcia, also. We had a male exchange student in 1996 from Sao Paulo. He got along well with our three sons. Our middle son, who is about his age, traveled back to Brazil with him for two weeks. He took college classes in the USA, Canada, and France. He married a young French lady and they currently live in France with their three children. Having him in our home for six months was a great experience. And welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC where we lived then and still do.
