I have always dreamed to be an exchange student. It never happened, however, I have friends that they are. It made a huge difference in their lives and attitudes. Reading and knowing about host families are very inspiring. Making a difference, a change and an impact in someone’s life is a great job. I hope I can do as a local coordinator.

I love how you said that with a student from a different background, you can learn more about a new culture and share stories. Thanks for your comment about how an exchange student could be a great influence on your children as well.

We just moved into a new home about 2 months ago and we’ve finally settled into a routine but I don’t know that I’m really all that thrilled about it. It would be amazing to have the opportunity to have someone come and live with us so I think I’m going to talk to my husband and see if there’s anything we could do to maybe become a host family ourselves.
