A few last things...

All of the keys look like this! 

LA CARNE!






My sister's 20th birthday!

Los abuelos

I made my host family their last banana bread!

Last night in Roca. Costume party!


One of my closest friends here.


Today i leave, and i can't help but think about the day i arrived. I was so terrified and overwhelmingly excited to meet my host family, start my first day of school, make new friends, and start speaking and learning the language. Now when i look back on it, i wonder what i was afraid of. I don't know how this half year has just passed me by, but i am so thankful for it. I have a family, school, friends, and home that are always going to be here for me. By participating in this exchange program, i have grown so much and realized how small Santa Fe, New Mexico is, and that in the future i will be out in the world. I have grown so much here by establishing a sense of independence, making connections, learning a language and culture, and teaching the people around me about my culture, country, and language. I am so grateful for this opportunity, and i will miss this new life i have started.
Thank you to everyone who helped and supported me. 
I love you, Argentina, I will come back to you.
