Rotary Youth Exchange: Belgium

Picture
     Hello! My name is Savannah Holden. I am from Massachusetts and I am spending my junior year of high school as a Rotary Exchange student. I leave on August 13th and I will be back sometime in early July of next year. The city that I will be in is called Braine-l'Alleud, and is about 20 minutes south of Brussels. I have three different host families (all in the same city) who all have teenage kids. French is language of Southern Belgium, or "Wallonia", (Dutch and German are also used), and I have been studying it all year in preparation. My first host family doesn't speak English, so I hope I will learn quickly!
    I have always been interested in other cultures and languages, and an going abroad for school is something that I have always wanted to do. I am so incredibly excited for this year, and so thankful to have this opportunity! Je ne peux pas attendre!
