This is a mini story of our last year exchange journey is the USA. People might think that being an exchange student is kind of uncertain, scary, unsafe, being so far away from home but it is not like that. Being an exchange student is full of every emotions experiences and thoughts human could have acknowledge, and we could say this might be the most wonderfully amazing, memorable experience we have ever had in our entire life.
