EXCHANGE

Being an exchange student has given me the chance to now spread out my opinions of a foreign country. And this may catch the attention of those who are also deciding upon taking the same sweet challenge, just as I did. I consider someone lucky when he or she gets the opportunity to live a fascinating experience one year abroad. I had the chance to live this experience in a little town called Horton, located in Alabama. An experience like this forces you to live so many different moments I was surrounded by amazing, caring and loving people. The ones that made the whole experience a memory I'll treasure forever in my heart.. My experience in the States has been so far the best year of my life, it’s not only the fact that I have improved my English skills, it’s the fact that I have made new lifelong friendships .These have been formed not only with my wonderful host family but also with people from school, fellow exchange students and my coordinator. It is also the fact that I have grown up as a person and now I am more self-sufficient. I have gained a new family, at first I was just their exchange student, but as time went by, I became part of the family. My year has been completed thanks to the High School where I had the chance to be part of lots of activities, fun classes and sports, particularly tennis. Tennis brought onto my exchange not just one but two families. So to sum up, I have learnt so many new things, I have lived in a real American Dream. No fears can affect your decision, no doubts can be exposed, no shyness personality, nothing can stop you from taking part of this awesome year! You can’t expect how is going to be till you live it! So those who are willing to enter into this experience, I encourage them!
