I just arrived home from the Speedwell picnic at the Iron Valley Golf Course. I have been looking forward to meeting the entire AFS family and all of those who were awarded the same scholarship to study abroad. I love interacting with people who share the same passion for traveling and experiencing the world. The event was filled with chatter and smiling faces. We were all very eager to speak with past exchange students and hear about their experiences. I met a girl from Spain who is being hosted in the United States. She gave me a lot of insight on the Spanish culture and made me all the more excited to start my year abroad. I also was interviewed by a volunteer. He asked several questions on my thoughts and expectations about the upcoming year which was incredibly difficult. No words can truly explain how I currently feel. I am so beyond thankful for having been given this opportunity.
