Lylou Coutard-Aubert, junior French exchange student, said, “I’m very sad to return to France, I would prefer to stay here, I don’t want to leave my friends. I’m going to miss everything, my friends, the teachers, the high school, I’m not ready to go back, I have a feeling I’m going to leave my dream life to return to a country where I spend 90 percent of my days at school and get to do nothing with my friends. The only thing I am excited about returning to France is being able to see my family again, my grandparents and more specifically my grandmother, and also my friends. ”
The last weeks of school are jam packed with activities. Summer will come soon. Enjoy the last few days. Go to as many events as you can. Soak in time with your friends who you may not get to see again. Summer will come either way.
