One of my best moments was when I traveled to Boston alone. There I ate the best cannolis of my life.
As a volunteer, I helped out in a riding therapy barn and was able to continue my hobby here.
I learned a lot about American culture here and was able to improve my English.

One of the most special moments is to see the progress in PT of my Host Child. It makes me happy and shows me that all the hard work pays off. I’m looking forward to an internship and working closely with my Host Child’s PT to work more with different children with special needs. Also looking forward to a nice college class maybe in Florida, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.
