The last two years that I spent in the United States have been a total blast
I had the opportunity to attend to Notre Dame Academy thanks to my exchange organization.
The last two years that I spent in the United States have been a total blast and an unforgettable experience. At the beginning of my first year, I was a bit scared about the new school in a foreign country but the people of Notre Dame welcomed me like they do with anyone no matter where they come from. People were extremely nice and eager to know about you and befriend you.
Also I had some doubts about picking up the books or where to go to choose my classes but my exchange organization is always there to help.
Fortunately I had a wonderful coordinator called Miranda in Green Bay who was always there to help. At the end of my second and last year I felt blessed about all the friends that I have, my wonderful host family and all the stuff that I have learned out and inside of the school. Fortunately I keep in touch with my classmates and we are planning to meet again.
I wouldn’t have minded to stay in Spain but definitely I learned more in the States and made more friends.
Also in Notre Dame I had the chance to be part of the IB Diploma, a very challenging two years course. The IB Diploma taught me new ways to think and learn and the Notre Dame teachers did a fantastic job teaching me and my other classmates. I didn’t learn just to speak English but I also learned to write essays something very important in the United States.
