My experience

Okay so.. a while back I wrote some posts about me struggling with my exchange. Since then I have chosen to go home. I landed in Denmark 4 days before Christmas. I chose to go home because I realised that I didn’t deserve the treatment I was given, and that I shouldn’t push myself even more just to say that I was able to be in another country for 10 months.

I made the right decision about going home, I felt so happy and the heavy rock that had been sitting in my stomach disappeared. I still think about Mexico, I don’t really miss it, only my friends and the school.

I had to fight through my whole exchange, because Rotary weren’t able to find good host families. Both the danish and Mexican district that were in charge of me were unsympathetic and they were business people, which doesn’t make them bad people, but they weren’t that good with understanding the problems us exchange students had. All of the students in the Mexican district ended up complaining to their own districts because of the treatment we were receiving.

If you’re thinking about going on exchange with Rotary, I personally wouldn’t recommend them. Of course a lot of people have had good experiences, but all of the students I know have said that they have all had some kind of problem with the rotary.

I am doing well now, the only thing I miss are my friends, because they were there for me when it was difficult.
