Then the day arrived when I met my host family at the Boise Airport in the state of Idaho, the state of potatoes. I felt nervous excitement as I was finally meeting my host family who I'd been in contact with for a few months! The first few days were a blast, at that time I had already visited the Idaho state capital and a hot air balloon festival!
Then it was time to experience my first day of high school in the United States. I was driving up to school with my host mom, and expected a big high school with thousands of students, a huge cafeteria that included mean girls at one table, and cool kids at another. I had a bunch of theories that kept coming to my mind. A few moments past with a whole bunch of mixed feelings running through me, and suddenly we arrive at the school.
When I saw the school, I thought to myself, "Oh this is the big school that I was thinking to be in?" I walked through the building of Liberty Charter School, I set up my six-class schedule, and it was time to find my classrooms. I met a girl who volunteered to show me around, and we talked and laughed, I had already made a friend! The first day of school was great, I made friends, and everyone was super nice which made me so happy.
A few weeks later I and my host family took a nine hour drive to St. George, Utah, and it was one of the most amazing trips ever! I saw the canyons there, and it was one of the prettiest views I have ever seen. I went to super cool museums and learned about pioneers too.
