The oldest daughter came home with a note from school. Whether we were interested in hosting an exchange student for 1 week. The guests could be coming from Poland, Finland, Portugal or Spain. Male or female. Age between 15-17. I though that was a great idea! It's good to meet with different cultures and having an exchange student in the house is a great opportunity for all of us. So yes, we signed up. I told Hubby about the project and he was excited as well. Until I explained to him we were going to have a 17 year old Spanish boy and that he would spend his week in the same room as our daughter. All of a sudden, he changed his mind. LOL. Of course that was a joke. He should know me by now..
We told school we had no preference whatsoever. Anyone is welcome. Race, age, religion or culture is not of any issue. The student that will be staying here, gets to go to school with Lana. They have some special activities as well, and they'll visit several places. The purpose for them is to speak English and get to know different cultures.
I hope we'll get chosen as a host family. Many people have applied. If a student is to come here, it'll be the last week of October. So I'd better not make too many appointments during that week.
You don't know me yet, maybe you do. If you don't, you will get to know me by reading this blog. If you know me, you might learn more about me, reading this blog, since I don't have the time to keep up with all of you. I'm a witty, young at heart hobby cook, always in for a good time, craving carbs but not eating many. An open book to many, spontaneous, outgoing, loving and caring personality with Type 1 diabetes.
