Rotary Weekend in Holbæk

From Friday night to Sunday morning we had a Rotary weekend in a city called Holbæk. Almost all of the Rotary students in Denmark were there, which is around 200 students. It was so nice to see everyone again and meet new people.

We had a bunch of activities like carving pumpkins, soccer games, and we even got to walk into the town for a couple hours and go shopping. On Saturday night we had a little party where there was a pumpkin carving contest, costume contest, and talent show. My friend Payton and I made a pumpkin (the BEST pumpkin), however, we didn't end up winning the contest.

Me, Payton, and the rightful winner

They decorated the whole room for the party with lights, smoke machines, and Halloween decorations. They even flew in an artist from London to preform for us.

Sunday was a bittersweet morning. For a lot of students, that was the last time they were going to see each other. (Some of the students are from the winter team, which means they arrived in January of 2017, so they are leaving in a few months. This was the last time all of the Districts in Denmark were together)

A lot of pictures were taken and hugs were given. It's such an amazing feeling to be in such a loving community with people from all over the world. We're really like a family. I wish everyone the best of luck, both the summer and winter teams. I love you all so much.

I will miss you all, and hope to see you again someday.

Now it's time to thank one of my GoFundMe Donors: Jan Cuneo, thank you so much for donating to my fundraiser. Thanks to you, I got to meet all of these wonderful people and create memories I'll never forget. (Much love, miss you lots!)
