“I am really proud to have received the President’s Award, since when I came to the USA, I couldn’t understand English very well. I thought I would never be able to speak it fluently, and now it feels natural. When I go back home I’m planning to attend the last year of high school and graduating again. Later on, I would like to go to medical school to become a pediatrician.”

“My Host Family was just the best. My favorite memories are traveling with them. They are 100% in favor of the student experiencing all they can and they help a lot… Now I know that I can do anything. I achieved goals that I had and other that I didn’t even know I had. I tried new things and experienced 100 more new things that I never thought I would.”

“My exchange year helped me develop sense of responsibility in real life. It showed me how to manage the obstacles and be able to be independent. It also let me meet people that had a big impact on me and changed my perspective.  I joined the soccer team at my school, it was my first time playing soccer and I really enjoyed it especially the time with my teammates and the games.”
