Hostfamily !

Hey Guys, 

Just got my Hostfamily in Riberac, which is a little town between Limoges and Bordeaux. 

I'm sooo happy about it! I skyped with my hostfamily yesterday and my hostsister and my hostmum are both so nice. I can't wait to get there! But i still got 3 more weeks in Germany.. And that's quiet scary in some way. 3 Weeks are over so fast. On one side i'm so excited and happy to go there but on the other side 10 months are a really long time. 10 months away from my wonderful Familiy and my great Friends.. Don't know if i'll get this.

 This Saturday i saw my Family in Düsseldorf the last time. It was hard to say goodbye to my Grandparents , Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. But it was my own decision to do a High School Year Abroad and i really don't regret it! 

I'll talk to you again when my aventure finally starts. :* 

Salut ! 

J'ai recu ma famille d'accueil dans Riberac! Un petit village entre Limoges et Bordeaux.

Je suis trés heureuse! J'ai parle avec ma famille d'accueil sur Skype hier. Et ma famille d'accueil est trés gentil! Je ne peut pas attendre encore aller en France! Mais j'ai deja 3 semaines dans Alllemagne.. et c'est un peut effrayant. 3 semaines sont fini trés trés vite. Je suis trés excitée et heureuse aller en France mais 10 mois sont longue! 10 mois etre parti de ma famille et mes copaines...

Derniére samedi, j'ai vu ma famille le derniére fois. Faire mes adieux á mes grandparents, tantes, oncles et cousins. Mais c'etait ma decision fair un High School Year Abroad et je ne regrette pas ma decision!

Je vais parler a vous si mon aventure commence finalement! :*

To be an exchange student

 How do you know what is a Dream if you never accomplished one. How do you know what is an Adventure if you never took part in one. How do you know what is Anguish if you never said goodbye to your family and friends with your eyes full of tears. How do you know what is being desperate, if you never arrived in a place alone and could not understand a word of what everyone else was saying. How do you know what is Diversity if you never lived under the same roof with people from all over the world? How do you know what is Tolerance, if you never had to get used to something different even if you didn’t like it. How do you know what is Autonomy, if you never had the chance to decide something by yourself? How do you know what it means to grow up, if you never stopped being a child to start a new   course ? How do you know what is to be helpless, if you never wanted to hug someone and had a computer screen to prevent you from doing it. How do you know what is Distance, if you never, looking at a map, said “ I am so far away”. How do you know what is a Language, if you never had to learn one to make friends. How do you know what is Patriotism, if you never shouted “ I love my country” holding a flag in your hands. How do you know what is the true Reality, if you never had the chance to see a lot of them to make one. How do you know what is an Opportunity, if you never caught one. How do you know what is Pride, if you never experienced it for yourself at realizing how much you have accomplished. How do you know what is to seize the day, if you never saw the time running so fast. How do you know what is a Friend, if the circumstances never showed you the true ones. How do you know what is a Family, if you never had one that supported you unconditionally . How do you know what are Borders, if you never crossed yours , to see what there was on the other side. How do you know what is Imagination, if you never thought about the moment when you would go back home.

  How do you know the world, if you have never been an exchange student?
