Host: RC of Albany
Sponsor RC: RC São
José dos Pinhais Colônia Murici, Chile
Current Host Family:
Tommy Holecek and Marianne Maloy
During the past month
here I have already had some of the best experiences of my life such as
swimming in a lake that was freezing. My health is good with no major issues.
My host family is truly loving and have embraced me in their family even before
I got in the airport which has for sure made a huge difference in exchange.
I went to school every
single day with the exception of today due to a migraine. I have started
cheerleading that has captivated me. I already had made friends from school
before the classes started since one of my host sisters is a senior just like
me. So since day one I have had friends who helped me finding my way in Albany
High School and that made me feel welcomed.
I sadly didn’t attend
any Rotary meetings however I met my counselor in my second week in the US when
he came to home to meet me and discuss the rules and to clarify any doubts that
I may had. I received my US$ 75 allowance on September 12th.
I have joined a program
in my school called Peer To Peer in which I work as Peer Mentor. My duty is to
help assigned kids that suffer from Autism in the way they relate to people and
finding their way around school.
