WELCOME TO NUEVO MESHIKO!"As the founder of the International Exchange Student Program, I am proud to see this moment. When I was a student like you, I spent several years as an exchange student in other countries. This was a life-changing experience for me, and broadened my horizons far beyond what they would have been otherwise. I was heartbroken when I saw the program that I had used to travel the world fall apart, destroying my dreams that many students might have the chance to do what I did, and to see the world from the viewpoints of many different cultures. When I graduated from graduate school, I decided that I was going to do something about that problem. So I learned, and eventually managed to raise enough money to send a group of fifteen Cenerian students to school in another country. This was a great achievement, and gave me great hope. Over the years, the program has expanded, and we have now been able to bring all of you from around to world to this one spot, this one school, in Meshik, Nuevo Meshiko. And I must say, wow. I never, ever expected to actually make it here. But this just shows what hard work, and a bunch of amazing friends, donors, and colleagues can do to make the world a better place.
So, without any further ado, I would like to not only welcome you to Nuevo Meshiko, but declare the 2014 school year officially started! Welcome to New Meshiko!"
