So much has happened!!

In the last month I have had so much happen. I received my passport at the beginning of the month, and I have submitted my full application and deposit which has gotten me one step closer to being able to go on this very special trip.

This month, my family hosted a German exchange student through a school "sister city" exchange program, his name is Simon. Simon is a really cool guy and and I am very thankful for the opportunity to meet him and to make so many friends through this program. I have made a lifetime friend that I will always be able to have. Simon has taught me some of the German culture and showed me a lot of the differences in our culture. I will get to go to Germany for 3 weeks and stay with Simon and his family through this program in July. I signed up for this program not only to have fun and make a lifetime friend but also to get the idea of what this experience will be like when I go over to Spain; how to be away from your family, a new culture and the experience of living with another family and having a different lifestyle.

Thank you to all that have helped with sponsorships and support, I can't do it without you!
