best host family, but I think it is totally wrong!! The best host
family is who teach exchange students that true American culture,

probably share the closest relationship with my mom Michelle. We
spend night after night talking about everything. She has always
a good advice for me. When I need help with my English essay, Michelle
will take the whole night to correct and improve it with me. I can
talk to her whenever I need to and I am really thankful for that.”

These are
just a few of the many heartwarming quotes we received from our students.
On behalf of the entire staff at AYA, we would like to thank all the
wonderful host families for the love and support they have given our
students throughout the year. By opening their home with welcoming hearts,
they have made our world a friendlier place and have fulfilled the dream
of a lifetime to our students. For these reasons and many more, we call
you all our “Host Families of the Year!”
