Well behaved

Alida Aroztigui, Adam's host mother, says she opens her house to Geneseo students "because they are respectful, polite and well-educated. If they were rude, I would not be a part of it. That's really important."
Alida rents another room to a Nicaraguan male student and runs a women's clothing store next door. They are all small stores here and people watch them from their front room in case someone comes in.
Alida recently broke her hip and is recuperating. She used to live in the states and traveled all over Central America but she doesn't get out of the house that much now. Her six sisters and brothers, who all live nearby or next door, visit often. She likes the visitors.
"It feels good to have someone in the house I can take care of and they're good company too," she says.
She says Adam is very "tranquilo," or laid back. He doesn't complain about anything and likes all the food she cooks. "He's always saying he's hungry," she says. He's also stocking up on reggaeton music, buying DVDs.
Laughing, she says she has also advised him to wait until he's 30 to get married. It's ok to date, but he's still young.
