Hi All! It’s Brooke. To summarize our first week with our French Exchange student, I have to be honest; it was not easy and not what I expected. Our student, Auriane, is extremely shy and introverted–probably the most shy person I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. At first I thought she was just probably terrified, but have come to see that besides the fear of being across the world from your family in a country where you barely speak the language, she truly is just a very timid person. I, on the other hand, am probably the most vocal, outgoing person, so our personalities really conflicted.
