“I have always been interested in summer aboard programs,” said Blake.  “One day, as I was researching some programs and I came across Rotary’s long term stay and realized that is what I wanted to do.”  Blake sees language as her biggest challenge during the 12-month stay. Blake is most excited about the experience itself, and plans to soak up all she can during her exchange program.
