About Me

I'm a 17 year old senior at Mother McAuley High School in Chicago. I wanted to go abroad to get more out of life, and I definitely got what I was looking for. Going abroad has changed my outlook on so many things, and it has made me more mature, responsible, independent (the list goes on). Hands down, this was one of the best things I've ever done. I started this blog a while back so my family and friends could read about my wonderful experiences in Italy!

new friends

I joined this "AFS Italy Summer 09" group on facebook and it's, like, 6 of us already! All of them have sent me friend requests (I accepted them happily),and right now we are all in the same boat, waiting for our summer to begin so that we can have the best experience of our lives! These are just a few of the people that I will meet up in New York with!

It's amazing the direction my life is going right now! I have lots of friends right here at home, but now I have friends from different parts of the country too! Talk about cool!

More interesting news: Not only am I making connections with kids from different parts of the U.S, but I have already made one with a girl from Italy (can you believe it?!)who is going through the same things I am right now. She is doing an exchange here in the U.S. for a year! She let me know if I have any questions about Italy she'd be more than happy to answer some, and I let her know she can do the same with me about coming to the U.S!
Life is good!

Until next time, Arriverderci! :)

    Hey Tori, thanks for commenting. No, I don't know my departure date yet. I don't even know my gate city.

    That's awesome that you're connecting with so many people!
