The theme of the programme was very interesting. We talked about topics that are so important and learnt so many things everyday. For example, we talked about the new oil pipeline from Alberta to BC, the Kyoto, Rio and Montreal protocols, the various ecosystems, etc. We also left the classroom in order to see what Vancouver has to offer regarding sustainability and the environment. We went to a First Nations demonstration, it was very interesting. A woman told us everything about it: amazing! We also visited the Burns Bog Delta Nature Reserve because it has a special ecosystem. In class, we talked about current events, which are happening at the moment, and discussed how they are perceived around the world. So every student contributed to the debate. It was my first time there and I loved it!

When I was a child I was lazy about speaking English. But to be here and speak English in America is amazing. You must learn English for the world, to find a job, to travel all over…someone, anywhere and everywhere will be able to understand you. San Diego is an amazing city on the coast. The downtown is wonderful. People feel free here. The air from the sea lets you feel free and you don’t want to sleep. After school I walk back to my residence and I meet people from everywhere. I've learned a lot about the culture of other places.
