Dear PIE Staff Members,

I don’t know how to begin this letter, as there are too many things to say. I want to thank PIE for everything. It played one of the biggest roles for my comfort and welfare while being in the USA.

I had an amazing one year in the USA, which i think was a lifetime opportunity for me. i learnt so many things: to be tolerant, understand and realize the most important aspects of american people such as volunteerism. I had a great opportunity to be a succesful student of American High School and participate in different kind of activities which teaches you lot of things. I am very happy that all my volunteerism work has been appreciated and i received an appreciation letter from president Obama and white house. it really means a lot for every exchange student. Also thank you for providing bonus checks which are very helpful for exchange students, especially in last month.

My views has become wider. This year helped me realize what kind of person I am and what i want to be in my life. I am leaving in less than two weeks and I can’t leave without saying thanks to my host family, my coordinators, and PIE staff members for being so willing to make my year amazing. I sent 4 pictures, 2 of them are in graduation uniform, one is with my host family on my birthday, and the other with my exchange student friend from Spain. I am invited on the award night of my school and if I manage to take pictures there, I will send to you. Best Wishes, Anna Abesadze from Republic of Georgia (2009-10 student)
