Today we heard from Kylie Wichtner, a 12th grader from Benzie Central, about the year she spent in Japan as an exchange student sponsored by the Frankfort and Sunrise Rotary Clubs.
 
Using a PowerPoint presentation Kylie showed us photos from each month of her year in Japan. The photos included the friends Kylie made in Japan, as well as many of the places she visited. She stayed with two different host families and was assigned to two different grade levels in school.

Much of Kylie's classwork was in Japanese, a language Kylie may pursue at the college level. As an extrcurricular activity she enjoyed calligraphy.

In response to a question Kylie said that her experience was one that she definitely would repeat and indeed was enough to make her think about a future as an English teacher in Japan or another foreign country.
