Hi everybody
I'm writing this report with a lot of different feelings.
In the first place I feel sad because I know my exchange year is coming to
an end and because I have to say goodbye to my fellow exchange students
who are the most amazing kids ever....
and in the other hand I feel very happy that I have had the chance to live
such an experience and also very exicted because this coming Tuesday 12th
of June I'm going on a Rotary sponsored trip around the USA along with
Cyril, Marit and Ari (another exchange students from this district).
I left "BAHAMA LAND" on May the 14th. It was really sad to left the place
in where I had been living the last months of my life but it was even more
sad to say goodbye to the people on the Island since I am not really good
at this stuff. I'm really gratefull to the Rotary Club of Lucaya who
hosted me.
Since the first moment that I touched American ground my fellow exchange
students did everything that was possible to keep me bussy and
happy...which is not really hard since I'm not a high maintence kid (i
think the host families think different but anyway...lol).
My friends took me to the beach so I can get a nice tan, to malls, to
parties, to sleepovers, to b-days, to byebye parties all over the place,
to some Rotary meetings, to go on a boat around Fort Lauderdale and to eat
and eat and eat and eat and that is why I had to go to the gym to get rid
of some Bahamian/American pounds and because I was staying with the crazy
german guy and the finish guy I had to do some extra exercise.
I'm so grateful to all of them that made of these last four weeks so
special for me.
I would also like to thanks to all the families that hosted me, like the
Shaffner family, Burguess family, Monagham Family, Altschul family and
many others that wanted to host me, to all of them thank you very much for
opening the doors of their houses.
And finally thanks again to the Rotarians of the District 6990 that make
possible this experience that has touched me and changed me a lot, I'm so
proud to be a rotary exchange student and I would like to become a
Rotarian in my future because I would like to give back what Rotary has
given me....open more doors to another people like Rotary has opened a lot
of doors to me. I will definitively remember this year as the best year of
my life!!!
"Don" Carlos.
Ps: special thanks to my senseis "gringo cereal" , "el caudillo" , "turru
pakini". |
