Every exchange student has warned me that 2012 will be a year full of challenges. It’s these challenges that I’m looking forward to, as I hope they’ll mean that I gain greater confidence in myself and a more positive outlook that will allow me to learn new languages, make new friends and have great experiences in the future. A new perspective, a greater appreciation for Aotearoa and understanding of the cultural heritage of Germany, my destination, are two of the many things that I hope to gain from being away as a Rotary Exchange Student for 2012.
