Soaring to New Heights with the Rotary Youth Exchange Program

“In a span of 3 days I have had an opportunity knock at my door, and it’s international, Rotary International, basically asking me if I would love to go on a student exchange for 1 year, and immediately it was a no brainer. They had previously reached out to Stepping Stones International looking for a candidate, and by pure grace I was handpicked and have already passed the interview process.

This one is certainly for the books.I am about to embark on a journey, a long one in fact 8000km kind of long, and I have little to no anxiety because I feel I spent all my 18 years on earth being sharpened for this. I’m so excited to see Armentieres, France, meet the people as well as the language, who knows maybe I’ll get to taste snails or frog legs.

But I’m so intrigued, I got so much support from my family and Stepping Stones International and it means the world, cause I truly believe that it took a village to take me where I’m going. I’m very grateful and I look forward to seeing what the world holds for me…stay tuned world!!!”
