New exchange student

Today, I am writing this post because I know that there are lots of girls and boys interested in doing an exchange. If you know someone please let the person know about all this because it is an awesome year.

I have learnt about a thousand things I had no idea I was going to learn.

I may not say that I did not have really good reason to go in an exchange before coming here, because I really did have a good reason (as learning the language, learning about the Canadian culture and knowing totally new people), but for sure, I have learnt a lot more than just what I thought and I am sure I will be learning more in the next 2 months (even when I am in Argentina).

I have learnt to appreciate my family and friends. I have learnt that languages are really important to be able to communicate with people from all around the world but I think that much more important is being able to feel the other persons feelings with opened heart, so you could reach the other person's heart. I consider that it's a really good point to be able to make good friends, and that's the way to make them.

Now, that I am almost in the end of my exchange the feeling are sometimes really weird because I feel that I am not going to see all this people again all together as now. And if I come some day to visit it's not going to be the same. The feeling it's really different than when I was in Argentina saying goodbye to my family because I knew my family is going to be there and everything is going to be the same when I go back, but leaving here, it's so difficult because I want to get to see my friends that I made here all my life but also, I want to see my family again.

Some time, somehow, things are going to "normal" again... !!!! And I am afraid of that...

My third Host family

I am back on my blog !!

I haven't been writing for a while...

I wanna tell you about my host families. I moved from my second host family, up in West Bench, to my third one (and last one), with Barb and Garry Hoolaeff. They live up the hill on Skaha Lake side. I am having a great time there. I have been hanging out with friends, with my host families and rotarians. Also, I am happy because during all my exchange I've lived up in Summerland with my first host family, Mona and Bill Smythe; up in West Bench with my second host family, Jacinta Ferrary and Cal Micklejohn and my third host family on Skaha Lake side. All the different places let me know a lot about Penticton and also, Summerland.

Now, Barb and Garry are on a trip, just for a few days, so Gordon Herle and his wife are hosting me just until Wednesday I believe.

Anyways, I can say I am glad I am in Penticton, Canada. I am enjoying the warmer weather, but I hope it gets hot before I go back because in Argentina it's going to be winter (not winter as here, but still is winter for me).

I want to thank my hosts families for hosting me... and also to Rotary for EVERYTHING !!!!

I hope some day I can be part of Rotary as a Rotarian and help people as Rotary does, but most than everything help student to go to another country as exchange student, because now that I have the experience, I may say that it's one of the things that makes you grown the best, and one of the best times in your whole life, and something you will never forget.
