What were you grateful for this week?School!

What was the most challenging part of this week?Motivating myself to run!

Tell us about a “wow” moment you had this week.Today I helped out getting the boys downstairs in their pajamas while my host parents got ready for a dinner party.

Tell us about your week! This week was very fun! I am in a new Italian course since it restarts every month. The people in the class are from all over the world and it’s really rad to hear about their lives. This school has helped me make friends from all over the world who I hope to stay in touch with for a long time. 

This week I went swimming with boys at the tennis club. Here you have to wear swimcaps to go in the pool and it’s so strange. I love playing with the boys in the water. I feel like growing up with pool and being a swim teacher has helped me think of fun games to play. 

I ran a lot this week in the park. It doesn’t get dark until 10pm so I leave once I finish work. I downloaded an app that was donating $1 for very km to help clean the oceans. That really pushed me to run the extra mile. I am excited to get back into shape after being in vacation mode with my friends and parents. 

I had a friend of mine dye my hair pink! I loved the way it looked and I am a little sad that it was temporary. 

On Friday after class I had a photoshoot. The girl who does my hair shared my contact with a designer. We talked and planned to take photos. I haven’t modeled since February so I was a little nervous. The designer and photographer were so nice and the clothes were beautiful! I had a wonderful time and even got a cute skirt out of it! So fun to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people this week.
