Sooner or later gotta go home…
Exchange student. Such an amazing experience of going away from home and living with another family for a year..
Now looking back.. These people around me were strangers before. I didn’t even know they existed. Now they are a family, they are best friends, they are everything that connects me to this amazing place and doesn’t let me go. Once strangers, now they are a part of my life.
These connections, these bridges are made of something unbreakable. They are so strong that I can say they will be there even after 50 years, connecting two continents. As long as we live, they will be there. Because that’s us, exchange students, standing strong no matter what happens.
The end of the year. The end of the exchange year. Yes, I am strong enough to hold on to the connections, but I can’t handle the going away part! When am I going to see my family and friends again? :’(
This is what exchange programs are about.. Being a new family member, making a lot of friends, having tons of fun, and leaving everything behind at the end…
This year has changed my life so much! I’m so glad that I did it. I will never forget anything or anybody. Because that’s what all of this about!
