Being an exchange student from the Southern Hemisphere means that we get to be a part of two groups. We arrived half way through of the exchange of those who got to France in September 2009, and we were here for the arrival of those who got here in September 2010.
This weekend I had my final rotary weekend in France in Rennes. In D1510 we are 6 students from the Southern Hemisphere, 4 from Australia, and 2 from NZ. For me it was hard to leave knowing that there are still all my friends living the exchange dream. It’s sad to know that I may not ever see many of these people, but the memories I have with them will always be in my heart.
We are a family in D1510, I will never forget those who I have encountered during 2010. All of our adventures and upsets brings us together and makes us so much stronger and closer. With the exchange students we have an immediate friend. I have not once seen an exchange student alone during a Rotary trip. We understand one another as we are walking the same path and sharing the same experiences. I am pretty sure that we will never find this anywhere else in the world.
D1510 je vous aime. Vous êtes les meilleurs. L’échange est court alors continuez de passer du bonheur, et profitez au maximum. A la prochaine mes amis. <3

I found this quote which I thought might relate to you- "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same."
