3 month exchange in Argentina

From the end of February til May 15th, I have been able to experience life in another country with a host family. This exchange has bettered my understanding of respect, sympathy and gratefulness for others and helped me open up more to try new things and to put myself out there more. This exchange has been an amazing opportunity that I will never forget and has helped me grow into a more independent person and has forced me problem solve for myself instead of relying on others.
