I went to prom with all of my closest friends and we saw the first fireworks of the season at Navy Pier. We watched movies, shared fun memories and made some new ones. It was my first one and I had a fabulous time. One of my dear friends, Eviee, hosted a sleepover just for me. I have shared many of my first-time experiences with my friends. She is also very talented when it comes to sewing and she showed me all her wonderful creations before she submitted them in a fashion show. We both share a strong passion for Japanese culture and she taught me all about the Japanese Tea Ceremony ritual. I took Japanese during my exchange and formed a strong friendship with Aurora. I am so very grateful for her companionship, because she always supported me and gave me valuable advice whenever I needed it. It was one of our last activities together before I had to leave for Pakistan.
I am a Pokémon fan and she took me to watch the new Detective Pikachu movie. We made fire from scratch, made smores and went hiking together. Rose and I became really close during a camping trip. Malcolm and one of my other best friends, Rose, took me sledding which was so much fun. It was the same evening as Seder, a traditional Jewish dinner, that I also got to experience. I hosted a surprise birthday party for him and my whole family was there. We went to prom together and his family also took me indoor skydiving which was a thrilling experience. It was a success and we became really close. We had to interview each other and present to the class. I met my first friend, Malcolm, in an ice breaker activity. In the start, I tried talking to people as an effort to make friends, but it was futile. One of the biggest challenges during one's exchange is making friends. I have had so many fun moments with them which now, have become valuable memories to me. Answering the prompt, I'd say that I miss my friends and family the most. I was enrolled in Evanston Township High School where I made tons of friends. I am a recent returnee and was placed in Evanston, Illinois.
