Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

*Temporary Exchange Student*

 
This is Victoria. She is a Junior this year. Katelyn has really taken a liking to her too! She has had such a blast hanging out in Victoria's room with her.
 
Hosting was not something we were looking to do this year. We decided we really think it would be fair, since we don't know how much traveling she'll get to do with us having Katelyn, but....We were asked to be a temporary home for her. Of course, we couldn't say no, but now we are glad that we didn't turn her away. She is sweet and polite. Super, super shy (way more than Bela or Emilia), but....We have offered to be her home for a longer amount of time, but that is a decision for her parents and the organization to make. We have never worked with this organization before, so we would have to go through the application process to host her longer, and I know the coordinator has calls out for families already cleared and ready to go.

 
Unfortuantely, I was told this evening that she has a mandatory meeting on Saturday, Sept. 1 - so she won't be able to spend the Holiday weekend trip to Indy/Illinois to meet the family. She'll be staying with the program coordinator. (*tear*)
 
I'll keep you updated on if she stays with us or not.
