The journey of my year-long exchange begins here. This weekend was the Outbound Orientation Weekend in Naramata. It was a weekend full of information on preparation and things to expect during the exchange. It was great to have many questions answered by the panel of Rebound and Inbound students.
As I am preparing for this year by researching information, reading books, learning the language, and asking many questions, I am excited and thrilled as well as nervous at the same time. A year is a long time to be away from home. I am filled with questions such as: What will my host family think of me? Will I be prepared enough? How will I cope with difficult situations?
I am thankful that my Rotary Club is so wonderfully preparing me and that I have support from my friends and family. I am starting up this blog in hopes that I will be able to share my exchange year with family and friends, while spending only limited time on the computer writing hundreds of emails. Instead, I can keep you all posted here.
So! I'll keep you posted!
