This is the most important ten months of my whole life, because I spent them in America being an exchange student. This has been one of my best experiences. |

As an active host Dad, I really enjoy spending time with the students in our home. Now that both our kids are living on their own, my wife and I find that hosting high school students helps us fill our empty nest. |

You have to try to take all the advantages possible, even knowing that everything isn't how you expected. It helped in maturity and being more independent. My host family was wonderful and helped me in everything I needed. |

This experience redefined all the views I had of the American society and culture. Although this year has passed extremely quickly, I will always remember it as my doorstep to adulthood. |

I have had a wonderful experience since the first day that I came here. I am leaving a family that has opened their home and hearts to me. They will always be my American family. |

My host parents, family, teachers, and my new friends have all given me moments that I will never forget. I just hope that a piece of America will go back to Croatia with me, planted deep in my heart. |

Marina - Vologda, Russia
I am very appreciative to you for the wonderful ten months of my stay in the United States. I had such a great time and I think I got a lot of experience for life. I have met nice people, have improved my language skills and have seen many different places that not everyone would be able to see. |

ISE has been very supportive. Thanks for your efforts on placing a young man with us that fit in, You knew what would and wouldn't work for us. We are encouraging others to join in and become host families. We sincerely hope they will contact you this year. |

Daniel - Viskoso, Croatia
Exchange student to be or not to be. It's a decision of which I definitely support and will repeat again if the opportunity arises. It makes you think about your future. It makes you think about who you are and who you want to be. What I really think is, it helps you choose the most important values that prepare you for life. |

Mr. and Mrs. Kittner - New York
I am so glad that my husband and I decided to host a student through your organization. Our Area Representative has just been wonderful. Our children have also enjoyed meeting people from other countries. Even though we live near New York City, our community is very |
small and we wanted our children to see that they live in a global community - not just a small town upstate. |
