Rotary's Blues For Food

Anto and I volunteered at Rotary's Blues for Food in Sudbury and met some new friends. The event was a great success! Great music, delicious food, and we raised near 50k for the foodbank!

Meet Jordan!

This is Jordan Carroll of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario. He's going to Taiwan just like me. Tomorrow I'm driving down to visit him and hang around the mall for a couple hours! We shall have plenty of fun.

I've received my guarantee forms!

I found out where I'll be living, my school, my Rotary counselor, and my first host family! I sent e-mails to my first family and counselor today, and I'm so excited to get a reply. I won't name the family yet, just in case they don't wish to be published online. But I will say that they have a 19 year old girl and a 14 year old boy, which is so great! I won't be the only teenager hahaha! From what I've been told by other exchange students who are in Taiwan now, I'm told that I'll be living near/in downtown Taipei. I'll be arriving in Taipei in late August and the first day of school is on September 1st. I'm so beyond excited right now, and I will update when I know more! Zàijiàn 再見

My Lovely New Rotary Jacket

I love my new Rotary blazer! It's a little big, but I like it that way. I'm looking forward to showing off my pride in Canada and Rotary when I wear it to the airport in Taiwan.

Ottawa was amazing!

I had so much fun in Ottawa with all of my Rotary friends! We went to many museums and galleries. We also went shopping, hung out at the Ottawa University residence, and did much more! Contact me if you'd like to hear more about it!

Last District 7010 Exchange Student Trip

I get to see all of my friends again on Saturday! Anto and I are going to Northbay that morning, where the bus will pick us up. We're going to Ottawa until Tuesday, to experience the capital city of Canada. I will post all about it when I get back!
