Tell Us Why

by LAURA M. from WINDERMERE, FL (July 19, 2010)

I worked as a volunteer coordinator for the 2009-2010 school year. I did not know what to think at first except that I had some friends in high school that were exchange students. I have to say I really enjoyed meeting these kids and interacting with them. I actually shared some similar interest with one of them. I have all of them as my Facebook friends now and even now that they are back home we still keep in touch. They were all incredible kids. All of my host families practically adopted the kids that lived with them and I know neither of their lives will ever be the same. They now have a lifetime bond. I would really recommend hosting if given the opportunity. It does not cost much at all just an extra plate at the table and lots of love and patience.

I myself an am immigrant from Poland. I learned English when we came to the States when I was 6 yrs. old and I became a citizen... Thank God. Anyway so I guess I can relate to cross cultural ties and friendships. I just recently made friends with a student who was a foreign exchange student at UK Martin School of Public Policy Administration and that was challenging because of the language barrier since the particular individual was from South Korea and I was resourceful as far as showing her bus route..library...basic public utility functions that people need to know if they're going to livee temporarily in Lexington. :) Bart W

During my stay in the states, I was given a very good care. My host family taught me in every possible way in order to help to learn more about the new language and culture. Of course, it was tough, but it is worthy. I truly believe that I would never forget for such a wonderful time. I have kept in touch with my host, and they have been my only family since I came to America. I love you, mom and dad.
