"What do you miss about Canada?"
People ask me this all the time, and my answers keep getting shorter and shorter. I don’t miss my family (Not usually, we Skype enough that I still feel a part of them and stuff.)

It’s a lot harder to hear about the girl replacing me next year than I thought it would be.
My counselor just called my host mum to talk to her about this girl. Her name is Mary-Anne and is from Columbia. She’ll be living with all 3 of my familie (just in a different order), be a part of my Rotary Club, go to my school…. I know that this was Joao this time last year, hearing...
