During the holiday season, we tend to think of the people and things we are thankful for especially during the past year. Thursday is the day Aspect Foundation brings you the grateful words from our students, former and current, who like to say a few things about their experience. This week, we bring you our former student Patrick from Germany. Patrick came to the United States and spent his memorable adventure in the beautiful state of Washington.

I wanted to say “thank you” to everyone who helped me during my host year. I had a great time in school and I got to know amazing people. I found friends for life and I had moments with my friends and family which I’ll never forget. I want to say “thank you” especially to my host family, which opened their house for me and gave me the chance to make my life better and experience this wonderful world.

Thank you guys, I love you all
