It has been a busy year for me this year and I really can't see many accomplishments. Last year I began working for the
EF Foundation as an IEC (International Exchange Coordinator). I find host families who are willing to host an exchange student from another country. Students come from Germany, Norway, Taiwan, Sweden; just to name a few. I hosted a student this year; Aron from Germany. Aron came to us in August of last year, he attended school with my son Ryon and we have grown attached and love him dearly. He will be leaving us soon and I hate to see him go, but I'm very sure that his mother father and siblings will be so very happy to see him. He has changed so much from when he first came here, they are not going to recognize him. We've been though good times and bad, and I wouldn't change any of it for the world. Aron was able to experience some of the American culture, like fast food, country living, Disney World, high school (prom and sports) Southern hospitality and so much more. He made many friends and all the girls were crazy about him. He has such a charming personality and if he read what I was saying, he would be embarrassed. It will be failry quiet without him and I know that Ryon will be lost without his "brother" being here. He has made a friend for life and had new experiences that he will treasure. Aron, we love you and are going to miss you dearly. Thankful for Skype and Facebook so that we can continue to stay in touch.
