Today I am literally halfway through my exchange in Italy. Really, how is this possible?? It seems like just yesterday that I arrived in the Naples airport at 11:30 AM. It makes me sad because I love my life here. It's so different from my life in my hometown of Lawrenceville, in southern Illinois. In a little more than five months I'll be leaving my host families to return to the United States. Rotary Youth Exchange has given me a once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to make the most of the time I have left. I feel so lucky to be here, but I'm also extremely proud of myself for making it this far. One thing I have learned is: "It may not always be easy, but it is worth it." Happy halfway and to another wonderful 5 months to go!
