The Chilean Exchange Students

I'm going to be honest in saying that whenever exchange students come to Episcopal, I don't seek out a friendship with them. This is because I don't want to become friends with someone that is only gong to leave weeks later. I don't want become friends with someone that I will never see again, but the Chilean exchange students, who are probably leaving the airport as I write this, were so friendly that I couldn't help but make many friendships over the past two weeks. I never really saw the exchange students around school, so it wasn't hard not to develop any friendships with them. One day three of the exchange students, Omar, Seba, and Jorge, decided to come to my English class and sit at my table. We began to talk and I realized that they were very funny and friendly.

After that day in English, I talked to them overtime I saw them and spent time when them whenever I saw them at school. One day after school I was in the library and I met yet anther exchange student, Andrea, who I ended up having the best friendship with. When I knew that there trip was coming to an end, I began to truly cherish the moments that I had with these people. I knew that the last opportunity I would have to see them would be at the soccer game at Episcopal last night. When I finally said my goodbyes after the soccer game, I realized that although I am going to miss these people, I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn about another culture.
