 AUGUST 14-15
Departure from my country India to Orlando
As left my country I was happy and so was my family, but
when I landed at London I was very nervous of thinking that how could I live
in different country for a whole year. When I reached the Miami airport I
had to go through loads of customs and I had the worst experience of my life
because I missed TWO flights. But I knew missing flights was a part of
EXCHANGE.
AUGUST 16-19
These were the hardest days of the exchange because every
where you look around is different. I was a bit jet-lagged but this is the
time when you learn to adapt to new surrounding and new people. I attended
my school orientation and found the school system was totally different.
AUGUST 24-26 - FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL
This was something that I was very nervous about. I had no
idea how would I cope with different people and studies. On the first day I
made two friends and no one was really interested because they did not know
that I was an exchange student. Some days later people came up to me and
spoke to me - it really felt comfortable.
AUGUST 24-26 - ROTARY ORIENTATION WEEKEND !!!!!!
OHHHH!!! The greatest days of my life. I met my friends
from around the world. That was the time I realized that I was not the only
one who was miles away from your home. We did things which I could never do
in my life. It was a weekend of fun and unity. I wished I could spend some
more time.
AUGUST 27 to SEP 03
School life was going on normally. I had made bunches of
friends. Saturday I went to see one of the GATORS game. I was amazed to see
the old people's enthusiasm and the way they were cheering for the GATORS .
The next day I went for a movie with my friends, it was fun spending time
with them.
SEP 4-13
I am enjoying my stay here, school is good, have made
dozens of friends. I am feeling much better .
ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE YOU ROCK !!!!!!!!!
