So this isn't really a post or even original content but I just have to post this because I believe it 100% accurately sums up what an exchange actually means. So without further ado...
Exchange Students:
Its going to be awkward when we aren't the foreign kid anymore when we go home,
nor will they care about us being exchange students.
For a month they might comment on it,
but our awesome stories will be forgotten to them,
we will fade in with the others at school.
Family gatherings might bring it up or the curious teacher,
but our eventful life will be forgotten,
except to us.
The way we live from the day we return is influenced by our host country,
with our self esteem boosted, amazing confidence, worldly humor,
and all our barriers broken.
They may not see it but we will always be exchange students,
kids who actually grew up and saw the world.
I would give credit to whoever wrote this awesome quote, but there wasn't anything to give credit to. So.
