Seven months
has flown by, I can't believe it. Especially after Sea Camp two months has
passed by and I didn’t even notice…this experience is flying away from my
hands!
Since the beginning of this year I moved to my second family and I enjoy
being with them, especially because I have a brother and a sister whom I
can talk to.
Last weekend the Grand Bahama Rotarians experienced a sophisticated night
at the annual Rotary Ball.
Pelin exchange student from Turkey and I attended to the formal event. We
made a huge effort to be well dressed for such important occasion. After
our big entrance we made our way to our table at the front of the
Ball-room. We had a great evening, first we sold the tickets for a Rotary
fundraiser, then we enjoyed the delicious food and finally we rocked the
Ball-room until we were falling apart. It was a really nice and fun Rotary
Ball.
On Tuesday, 27th I shared my experience of MY Exchange year during the
Rotary Club’s weekly meeting. I wasn’t nervous at all, since I enjoy
making presentations in front of an audience and this time it was
particularly easy because I was talking about actual experiences that I
have lived during the last seven months. Everything turned out excellent,
I presented a slide show of many pictures of my host families, exchange
friends and Bahamian friends and of the many places I had visited, then I
presented a documentary of my country Ecuador. I made some jokes of my
experience while doing the presentation and even the newspaper quoted
that: “Yugcha, while displaying a unique sense of humor, told the
Rotarians during their weekly meeting…”
It was so cool to see my face the next morning on the newspaper’s front
page…yea…I did first line on the Newspaper…for ironically it sounds I was
the news of that day with my name and my funny face on it.
There are a few months left of my exchange year, yet there are a lot of
things to do. I’m practically out of school and I want to do some
volunteer with the Rotarians in the island. My fellow exchange students
are coming on April and on June and July I’ll be traveling around the
United Stated on a Rotary Trip…so a lot of things keep me going.
I’ll be reporting any exciting experience that comes my way.
