My experience in Boston has been a wonderful and amazing time, it was  something that I will never forget. 9 months learning English and learning English in addition to culture, human values and above all that we are one world but not all live in the same country, we all have something in common. In my opinion I think everyone has a different purpose for which you choose to come here but whatever, same or different from other people all end up knowing that sooner or later begin to be part of our lives, we all make great friends with who create unbreakable bonds, of which at some point we have to separate, but we will continue to retain in spite of miles away.

EC I thank for the great work that you  do with each one of us, my mom (Renne) that has been a second mother to me, my agency BabelStudies, and anyone who had not had the chance to get some share with me.

I suggest you finally enjoy the most of your time in Boston, some others will go back to stay, but whatever that EC never forget that once was their home.

THANKS for everthing, Maria Alenadra Lopez Sanchez (from Colombia)
