October was a new experience for all of us. It was nerve wracking and exciting all at once. All of us are greatful for the memories made and the bonds that were built with the Germans. During our goodbye ceremony all of the Canadians made a goodbye statement for their partners, and now it’s something we can all look back at and smile.
Ciara: “Throughout the month, I was unsure of many things including the German language and my exchange partner's routine and personality. However, all along I knew one thing for sure. She was meant to become a part of my family. She is now my closest friend and other half. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have gotten to know her and experience things with her.”

Noah: “Lennart I am so glad I was paired up with somebody that is pretty much the same person as me. I have never had a brother before and always wondered what it would be like. Now I have had the experience of having another boy around the house. I loved it but I’m not sure how parents with two boys deal with all the noise produced and food consumed. Thank you for being awesome”

I can't wait to come and visit you and all the other Germans in Deutschland! You have become a special brother to me. Until I see you again, (sorry if i botch this) Tschus!"
