I'm really really excited as I'm writing this!
I finally got my Rotary jacket! :)
To be honest, I didn't really feel like going on an exchange until I got this.
Now, It's happening. My adventure is starting… Only 24 days and I'll be stepping on an entirely new ground, France.
It's sad to think that I will not see my family and friends for one year, but at the same time, I feel grateful to think that I'll have new, amazing French family and friends.
Outbounds who just came back from their exchange told me "there are times when you just miss home and feel like everything's going wrong but looking back, those are the things that made me strong as a person, and those are the things that made my exchange even more valuable".
I wrote their words here, to always remind myself to be positive and never forget the feeling I have now -excitement and curiosity for what's coming next-.
I appreciate my host club in both Japan and France and Rotary Club for this opportunity, my family for always being supportive, and my host family in France for helping make my exchange as enjoyable as possible.
This year will be the best year of my life.
