“Don’t cry because it’s ending, smile because it happened.” 🥹✨ As July arrives, thousands of AFSers around the world are closing a chapter that changed their lives forever. Leaving your host country, your host family, and the global friends you made along the way is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. But just like Axel captured in this beautiful video from Istanbul, the tears only mean one thing: you built something truly unforgettable. To all our students returning home: Your exchange year might be ending, but your journey as a global citizen is just beginning. 🌎❤️ 🎥 by AFS Exchange Student Axel Rashieka
