Youth Exchange can also be life changing for Host Families and Host Rotary Clubs Franco from Argentina with host mom at Graduation District 6400 Youth Exchange

5 months in Brazil. This amazing opportunity, I'm so lucky to be experiencing, has made me look at the world and life in a completely different way. I've seen so many things and been to so many places, but really that is not what is truly important. I've learned that your attitude, courage and determination decides whether or not you will enjoy your experiences or not, and that goes for anything in life. The most important lesson I've learned, however, is without my family, friends and mentors (all over the world) supporting, and guiding me along the way I definitely would not be where I am today. I am so grateful for the laughs, love, and happiness you all have brought me. I want to thank each and everyone of you for being a part of my life, I love you guys. - Dustin Kane , Trenton, MI USA
