I was an exchange student. How do you know what is a dream if you never accomplished one? How do you know what is an adventure if you never took part in one? How do you know what is anguish if you never said goodbye to your family and friends with your eyes full of tears? How do you know what is being desperate, if you never arrived in a place alone and could not understand a word of what everyone else was saying? How do you know what is diversity if you never lived under the same roof with people from all over the world? How do you know what is tolerance, if you never had to get used to something different even if you didn’t like it. How do you know what is autonomy, if you never had the chance to decide something by yourself? How do you know what it means to grow up, if you never stopped being a child to start a new course? How do you know what is to be helpless, if you never wanted to hug someone and had a computer screen to prevent you from doing it? How do you know what is distance, if you never, looking at a map, said “I am so far away”? How do you know what is a language, if you never had to learn one to make friends? How do you know what is patriotism, if you never shouted “ I love my country” holding a flag in your hands? How do you know what is the true reality, if you never had the chance to see a lot of them to make one. How do you know what is an opportunity, if you never caught one? How do you know what is pride, if you never experienced it for yourself at realizing how much you have accomplished? How do you know what is to seize the day, if you never saw the time running so fast? How do you know what is a friend, if the circumstances never showed you the true ones. How do you know what is a family, if you never had one that supported you unconditionally? How do you know what are borders, if you never crossed yours, to see what there was on the other side? How do you know what is imagination, if you never thought about the moment when you would go back home? How do you know the world, if you have never been an exchange student?

Exchange Year negli USA

Ed eccomi qua, finalmente a scrivere il mio primo post. Il motivo per cui ho creato questo Blog è che voglio scrivere tutto dell'esperienza che sto per vivere e che so mi cambierà la vita. Sarò un exchange student!! Ancora non ci posso credere. Non voglio tralasciare niente, nemmeno il più piccolo particolare, perchè si sa che i ricordi con il tempo si appannano e  non voglio dimenticarmi di nulla, bello o brutto che sia.
Ho sempre sognato, sin da bambina, di frequentare un'anno all'estero e ora finalmente comincia a diventare realtà. Non è più un sogno in fondo al cassetto sommerso di incertezze e paure.


Veniamo alle presentazioni ^^

Mi chiamo Paola, ho 16 anni (compiuti esattamente una settimana fa XD) e frequento il liceo classico. Vivo in un paesino fra le montagne del Trentino nella valle delle mele, la Val di Non e adoro la mia vita. Fino a due mesi fa non l'avrei detto, ma è così. Adoro vivere circondata dalla natura, adoro bere l'acqua dalla fontana sotto casa, adoro vedere la mia cagnetta dormire, adoro ascoltare musica ad occhi chiusi e sentire il vento sul viso. Non sono una persona che richiede molto per essere felice, mi basta essere serena ^^
Mi piace fotografare ciò che mi circonda, navigare in internet e ascoltare musica.

Non so dirvi di preciso ogni quanto aggiornerò il blog, ma di certo lo farò ogni qualvolta ci saranno novità ^^

Write You Soon, 
                               Paola
