America Inside Out
May 16th, 20185/16/2018 Hi there!
Today I opened my mailbox and found a big plastic package in it. Inside the package there were my certificates and congratulations from my exchange organizations for accomplishment of myyear. Do you know what does it mean? Yes, It means that my year in America is almost over and in one month I will have to take a plane back to Ukraine. I was sitting on the floor of my room and thinking about this year. I remembered all that cool, amazing, unusual situations that happened to me here, all that nice and kind people I met, all that things I crossed out of my American bucket list... and many things I would like to have more time to cross out.... It wasn’t an easy year: imagine, you are taking away from your comfort zone and thrown in an unknown environment. All your friends and relatives stayed at home, you are by yourself. Hard, but it makes you mature quicklier, learn how to deal with struggles, let you find new people to love. It totally worth that! I was sitting and asking myself, “How do you feel about that?” I feel thankful for all the people who were kind to me. I feel bad that I have to leave this place. I feel proud and happy for everything I tried here and sad for those things, which I didn’t. But I am also excited to see what life is preparing for me next. So I am just going to enjoy my last month of the exchange year and take tones of good memories with me back home:)

Daria, You're going to make me cry! I'm going to miss you so much! I love exchange students because they always have something new to bring to us and when they leave it's always the hardest because there is a chance that you may never see them again!
