I first did a short term exchange between senior and junior years of high school and then decided I wanted to do a full year after just having the small taste. I am currently in FRANCE, and overall enjoying it. I know there are so many things I will take away from this experience that will stay with me forever, and I know I will be staying involved with rotary and with youth exchange for the rest of my life...THANK YOU ALLLLLLL (the only reproach I have on the video is that it does not portray that there are hard parts...its not all peaches...there are definitely days that are sour lemons...overall it is incredible though)

I am a former Youth Exchange student from Pennsylvania to Quebec, and just that short distance impacted my life more than I could have ever imagined. I have friends all over the world still calling me today, and proudly become a 3rd Generation Rotarian, now heading an Interact Club for my Club. I hope to lead us soon enough in the direction of Youth Exchange and expose others to the world out of this world. Thank You Rotary for this life altering experience.

I am so proud of her and all the rotarians and people who have encouraged and nurtured her along the way. As a foot note...Majla went home, completed her studies and then earned a scholarship and is back in the US studying at Harvard Unversity. I am convinced Majla will help change the world and make it a better place to live!
