I would also like to thank the entire community for all the facilities that made my residence here easier and for all the times that they have helped me. By this I mean family, friends, teachers and everybody else who was there supporting and helping me.

I just want to say that if someone has the facilities and resources to keep an exchange student sometime, go for it, because it is going to make you grow up too and you will take advantage from that amazing experience. I know it is hard to just bring someone you do not know to your house, but I promise you that it will be worth it. Now I have a new family. Time to go home is almost here and all the emotions and moments are coming back and forth to my head. I love them as I love my real family and I will always be grateful.

If you would consider being a host family please get in touch with my PAX coordinator, Shelley Aveis, at [email protected].
