Port of Broome Scholarship

Rachel Wells – Port of Broome Scholarship winner to Argentina!

”“I think my family and friends here understand that I had a great time, but they won’t ever fully understand that the people I know now, and the things that I have experienced with them were more important than anything. That they are special people and that I love them. And that I’ve learnt more than just a language, but I’ve learnt everything about myself, and how to live life. And when I signed up for exchange I thought I would have a unique experience to see another culture and visit some pretty landscapes and make a few friends, but I didn’t think that this experience would change me more than anything I had ever done before in my life.”
