EVER-POSITIVE, OUR EXCHANGE STUDENT GIVES IT ALL HIGH MARKS - (virus notwithstanding...)
Thanks to Dave Stallings for forwarding on this latest email from Matthew. Hope we can hear from him at a meeting soon!Mr. Stallings,I wanted to thank you for all of the help you provided in arranging what ended up being such an incredible experience. I can't thank the Overland Park Rotary club enough for their support in this adventure.Even though it was terminated early because of the Coronavirus, I am now safe home and full of great memories.My French proficiency has skyrocketed, I've made friends all over the world, and I now have three homes with three families in France within which I am welcome anytime of the year.This has been huge for my personal development, and may even lead to future internship and job opportunities abroad.It's difficult to express eight and a half months in words, within the first week the exchange had already surpassed my high expectations. I feel as if this exchange has changed the entire course of my life for the better.I would love to come in for a meeting to talk about my experience.Once again, thank you for giving me this opportunity.Matthew Murphy
