I want to say thanks for the most amazing week of my life! It was a total blast and I made some LIFE LONG friends!                                                          ...Kaila
 

 
When I left home I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but as the trip progressed I became more and more aware.  Meeting so many people from so many places, doing things that not very many people get to do, and having the time of my life, I wouldn't go back and change a thing.

Because of you, the rotary club of Ottawa, I have friends all over Canada that I talk to regularly and I also have memories that will never go away.

I would have to say that the best part of this trip was going to citizenship court to witness those 51 people become Canadian citizens. My least favorite part was going home, because our group was separated. So thank you so much for an experience that I will never forget, and the
friendships that I made.

I have done so many things that I have not done before, and may continue to build the next chapter in my life, enriched with such experiences.

To live an ideal political life, to meet people just like me who want to make a difference in the world, and believe they can.  To sing, dance, tour and most of all experience life in the great city of Ottawa, are just a few wonders of this program.
