High school exchange programs and Study abroad opportunities with Nacel.

I enjoyed my stay in St. Paul. I am grateful that I had such a good host family like that. I had only a host mother but three roommates. My roommates were from Korea, China, and Switzerland. I shared my room with a boy from Switzerland. My host mother, a very nice person, took care of us all. She cooked very delicious food. We all three respected and helped her. We washed dishes after every supper. Many students want to be hosted by her. My classmates asked me if my host mother would like to host them next year. I loved my host family. My roommates were very funny. We always helped each other with anything. My host mother and roommates, and I always joked. I had a lot of fun with my host family.

I liked the St. Paul Preparatory School. The most of all I like the teachers. They were very nice and funny. It was interesting when they were teaching in classes. It was nice to meet students from different countries.  But it was not easy to make a friends because most students talked only with students from their own countries. I learned a lot about other countries. I made a friend at the end of the school year. My friend and I went to Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, Downtown Minneapolis. The most exciting thing was a concert. We went to Rihanna’s concert at Target Center. I got a lot of experience from the school. I feel my English improving. I want to thank you for a chance you gave me to study in St. Paul Preparatory school.

"Lincoln is doing great.  He is really enjoying exploring the area near the lake where the family house is and has been able to make some friends.  He makes friends easily, likes to be outside, loves to meet new people and see new things.  He wrote us that some of the kids he met yesterday took him around the town, showed him the landfill, etc. The family has also taken him to many flea markets and thrift stores, charity shops, etc.  They did give a LOVELY party for Lincoln's birthday and 5 of his friends came.  We saw the photos and it looked like a beautiful time. Lincoln is doing great!  We are and will be forever indebted to Lincoln's beautiful Chilean family.  We know he has formed friendships that will last forever, which is one of our goals for the exchange" Mother of Lincoln, United States.

The experience as a whole was fantastic, what I enjoyed most was all the new people I got to meet.
