"It indeed has been a wonderful journey and I am so sad that it has come by so quickly. I haven't traveled outside of the State, as there is so much to do in Millinocket and the towns surrounding it. I am absolutely loving the outdoors here and wish that my time didn't have to end so soon". - Charlotte, Australia

"I decided to go on an exchange program because I wanted to have the experience of living in another country, challenge myself to learn another language, improve my English skills, meet different people and know more about the American culture. I have been able to accomplish this by going to school and doing my best to keep my grades high, trying to make friends, being sociable, trying to ignore all the stereotypes, being polite and caring about the people around me. My favorite memory was going to Boston with my host family. We stayed in the city for 5 days. We went to a lot of different places and had fun with friends." - Matheus, Brazil

My name is Enoch Lin. I attended Stearns High School at the beginning of my senior year in high school, because of the cooperation between Liren (my international high school in China) and Stearns. I'm now studying computer science at the University of Maine. I work for International Admissions at the Office of International Programs and as a web app developer for the School of Biology and Ecology. I appreciated the opportunity that Liren offered me to study at Stearns. One year was not long enough, but it was just enough so I did not have to face the cultural shock when I chose to continue studying in the US. It made the transaction from one culture to another smoother than I expected. At the same time, I made some great friends and formed some wonderful relationships with local people. It was a shame that I could not stay at Stearns for a longer period of time.
