Jerad Reflects On His 2004 Experiences

Fellow Exchange Students

                     

 

The conclusion of a year is most certainly a wonderful opportunity. This time provided opportunity allows us to reflect on our encountered experiences from the dusked year. The experiences each one of us encountered have the potential to be used as tools of growth. These tools for an individualīs development accomplish its purpose the moment at least one lesson is learnt  from what one has experienced.

 

As exchange students we are placed in  foreign lands. Our presence in these foreign nations is; without a question, one of the greatest experiences members of our age group can be a part of.

This experience will provide each one of us with lessons that will make us wiser, stronger and more prepared for our post exchange lives.

 

Before arriving in Germany I was aware that  this country will provide me with experiences that will become valuable lessons. As the present year of 2004 comes to an end, I must state that this phase of my exchange without exception of any encounter has earned the right to be ranked as a treasured experience. The culture of the German society contains certain aspects in which an individual such as my self can truly enjoy.

 

My friends, this is only the beginning and we all have so much more to encounter within the months to come. It is my wish that you all enjoyed your exchange to this moment and that you allow the experiences thus far to be of value as I have done with mine. In doing that we can move into the  year of 2005 as further developed individuals that are not only more eager but more ready to make this exchange experience the best.

 

I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas holiday and an even more wonderful new year. May we all make this year of 2005 the year that we all have individually idealed it to be. May God bless each and every one of you.

Once again......,MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
