Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a foreign exchange student from Italy.
I’ve been here for almost 2 months now and I will stay in Williston for 10
months. I’m staying with a host family and I have an other exchange student who lives
with me.

I joined the Coyotes swimming team and I love it!

Sometimes being almost 17 in a foreign country with a new family and a new
school it’s very hard BUT it’s totally worth it.

In this video I’m talking with my mum in Italian and I was asking her about
my cats and my grandparents.
