With this letter I just want to say THANK YOU to everybody. Thank you to my host family that made my dream came true. They helped me with the language, with the school, with my life.

Thank you to Blum High School to be so welcoming and kind with me. Teachers, classmates, principal, coaches. Thank you to my coordinator to be always by my side.

Thank you to my Italian family that supported me in this experience.

AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. Now I have two families, two countries and two languages.
