I don’t know where to start this. I’m sad and happy and at the same time, I have gained something unforgettable and special for the rest of my life, but also as it started, it came to an end so fast. I loved every moment. I still remember the first moment when the American kids stepped in our school, just like how we met again, but this time in America. Thank you for showing me their everyday life, their classes and I also say thanks for our opportunity to stay with the families. I got the sweetest people to be my hosts for that week. They also made my days amazing. Shabbat again was just so easy without our phones though I know that the floor of the library wasn’t the most comfortable place to sleep. I’m more than happy that I could meet these people and also that I met new ones. Just as if I had discovered new people from my own school. We made friends and maybe we won’t talk regularly, but I just want to say that my doors are always open for them, no matter where they are in their life. I wanted to have more time with them and less time at school. I wished we could have had more sightseeing. Programs, where we could have seen more from America, would have been better, but all in all this whole project is amazing and it’s going to be way more awesome than it is now.
We started something awesome and I know that everybody who gets this opportunity will love every moment of it. I learned about myself that I’m able to speak in front of native speakers about a hard topic. I learned that I shouldn’t be afraid of new things. The project is also about getting to know ourselves and not just other people. We have been building this connection between us from the very beginning and we will always have it. Maybe we are on the opposite sides of the world, but we have these moments with us everywhere, anytime. I’m grateful for everything. ~ Bora
