On being a Rotary Exchange Student

As i was browsing in my Rotex photos, it brings back all the good and beautiful memories I had in FInland when i was still 16. I had sssooo much fun, you could not imagine how life can be so damn nice, short and beautiful. I was so naive and innocent then. I nearly backed out because of some personal reasons, but eventually I did and would have regretted it if i hadn't. I would be putting some pics soon on my friendster, multiply and myspace accounts. =) . But for now, this will do. In the photo are: (L-R) Me, Jason(a chinese but grew up in Florida), Anais(my Venezuelan Bestfriend), Daniella(German) and her sister, and last but not the least, Stefan(from NY). This was taken at LAurin Lukio. The school where we went to.

Being a Rotary Exchange Student opens new doors to a person's life. Not only will s/he gains independence but it can transform you into a whole new person. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually and even physically.*I gained so much when i stayed there *winks** But really, it was a very huge experience that i shall never forget. I never wanted to go back home. It was so much fun that I sound like Im exaggerating and overrated. I wanted to go back and this time with my loved ones. 10 months after school, we had a Eurotrip which i recommend to everybody. Who wouldn't go to Europe for crying out loud! =)

Anyways, watch out for my pics soon. Im putting it on on slides in my profiles. There were still no digicams during that time so i still had the film camera. Everybody in the program did =)
