Yoseph from Indonesia shared that one of the best parts of his exchange year was making friends and connections in his high school theatre production! Not only did he get to build a community, but he also got cast in the lead role of SpongeBob SquarePants in his school’s spring musical production.

“Nothing could have beaten the feeling of being on stage, I never had that back home,” Yoseph shared.

Thanks for sharing with us and making the best of your exchange year!
