EXCHANGE
PROGRAM
12 students
from Jesús, Maria i Josep went to Maryland from the 20th October to
the 2nd November. So the second part of the
great experience started on the 1st April, when the American
students arrived to Barcelona.
All of us were
so excited to meet again our friends, and our parents and brothers to finally
meet the new member of the family for two weeks. We were waiting for them with
a big poster that we made, where it said “WELCOME TO BARCELONA”.
The big hugs
and kisses arrived. We were so happy to see them again!!! Finally I introduced
Cassidy to my family, she is my American Student.
We took them
and their big (huge) luggage to their new houses. The first day they were so
tired because of the flights, so they unpacked and did a few activities with
their families. For example, we did a little tour around Barcelona to show her
the city.
The first day
was so especial because we showed them our school and we introduced them all
our classmates and teachers. They loved it! They did a little tour around our
school and after it, all the exchange students had breakfast together in the
school cafeteria.
The rest of
the week they went to many places as Barri Gòtic, MNAC, Sitges… Two teachers
and two students from our school went with them to the trips. After school, we
took them to our extra activities (in my case, basketball practices) or we did
some more activities with them (we went shopping, we went to Arc de Triomf…)
T.G.I.F!!! The
weekend arrived and we all had a lot of plans to do with our American Students.
For example, Cassidy and I went to a party, to the Camp Nou to cheer
F.C.Barcelona and on Sunday we went to a restaurant to eat tapas.
The last week
they went to Sagrada Familia, and to Port Aventura! That day was amazing,
because in Port Aventura there were nobody, so we were able to go to all the
roller coasters all the times than we wanted.
Some of the
days they took classes with us: Speaking English classes, Biology, Chemistry,
Maths…
The last day
arrived, but after it, we had a big dinner in the school the last night. There
were all the families and students and it was so nice and emotive. And on
Friday morning we said them a sad goodbye in the airport.
We all know
that it was not a real goodbye, it was a SEE YOU SOON. What an incredible
experience!
