IT'S OVER!!!!!!

I received my certificate and I also received a years worth of credit in Spanish. The exam was very hard but I finished what I remembered and I tried my best for the ones that I did not remember. I had an average score for someone that had not learned Spanish since the 3rd grade. The activity that I liked the best was climbing the volcano. It may have been scary but it was the best thing that I have ever done.

My home stay parents Jose and Lucky were the best and they tried to make us feel comfortable as posible(possible), which they did. Jose has been having back problems for a couple of days so I haven't seen him. He is the coolest guy you could meet in Guatemala the other day I heard him listening to Beyonce's song irreplaceable (wow Jose). He tried to make us feel at home with the little bit of American culture he knew, that is what made him so cool. He is also the funniest man walking in Guatemala.

Lucky, she was also a very caring mother for us. She called us her hijos (sons), Lucky is a very good cook to, the other day she made us Hamburgers with some nachos and a special cheese dip. Lucky tried to teach us words in Spanish and we also tried to communicate with her in Spanish also. There is one American that I know that she knows how to say......"CELTICS AHHHHHH"!!!

My time here was great, I had a wonderful family and had a great time. I am thinking about returning one day when I am an adult, but until then I just might stick to America for the meanwhile. I missed watching American television, my American family, my American friends and now I get to finally see them tomorrow. =)
