An amazing experience!

One of the things that everyone is asking me is if I would like go again to this Exchange program.
And of course that I would like do again all the things that I have just done! The 6 weeks was a really incredible experience!... I am thinking about a month ago, and one of the things that I am most impressed with it’s how is the people in Portland. I am talking about my family, how they can be very generous and worried with a girl who they don’t know??... Since the first day in the airport of Portland that they are with me like if I was another daughter and another sister.
To explain a little more about how they are, I am going to talk about my Easter. We went to Massachusetts to the house of her grandparents, I was very nervous because I don’t know all her family and maybe I could be a little extra there! But all was complete different, her family can’t be more sweet!!. There they celebrated very different than in Chile, like a big party!, with big gifts (not only chocolates!!)… and with a big meal!. I made many things too: I cooked, I painted eggs, and I had to found my Easter basket! The most impressive thing is how they were with me, all the family gave to me many presents!!, all specially the grandparents were very worried about me… they said to me: I only want that you feel like in house!!!... And the grandparent when I was leaving his house, he gave to me a bill of 2 dollars with all the name of the family there, so with that I can remember them!. The Allyson’s family is amazing, I am going to miss them very much, especially Allyson she was a great person and “sister” with me.
Well, this weekend show how was the people in Portland, and in the School (McAuley) too, all the girls were very nice!.. they gave to us present’s when we leaved, and we still talking!!! We made a lot of real friends!! Really, this month in Portland was an amazing experience, where I lived and learned a lot of things!!
About the last 2 weeks: The 3 places were incredible, we saw many different things!... but one of the things that I am most happy is the group, I am only going to say that it was amazing. I am very happy with had know all the people that before we aren’t friends and now be closer with all of them!!.
I absolutely recommended trip!
