The moment came when I had to wake up and prepare to go to the airport. I felt happy and fulfilled because I am included in this project and can move to another country and know other cultures and other people. I had no problems during the flight and it was really nice. When I arrived in Italy, I stayed at a hotel in Catania, so that the next day we would go to Vittoria, the partner town in the project. When I arrived, I had emotions and I did not know what would happen and how they would behave with us. I met with Emanuele, the boy who hosted me and we both went to his house and then went to an ice cream. One thing I liked, from the beginning, was that I daily used the scooter .
On the first day I got up and after taking breakfast I went to school where I met a lot of very good people again. In the school amphitheater I had the majority of activities and on the first day there was the flag ceremony; 2 students from each participating country flipped a flag on the shoulder while singing the anthem of each country. After I finished my work in the amphitheater I had lunch with the Italian students who hosted us and in the evening I visited one of them and in his house we played games together and we got to know each other better. The next day, each country had presentations about healthy life - food, sports. W had "ice breakage" activities, in which we participated together, students and teachers.
As a follow-up, I visited a plant called "Signora melanzana" where all

kinds of eggplant and tomatoes were grown without the use of chemicals, we visited the sun and we went to a tasting where I ate eggplant marmalade for the first time in my life.
The third day we woke up earlier that because we had to go on a trip to the ancient city of Syracuse, I visited several interesting things there, such as an amphitheater, a spring set up during the time when the Syracusians still lived there and many other ruins.
I have visited wonderful places, filled with history, I have met special people, the family I was hosted, and not only. I have practiced my English skills, communication and sociability with people belonging to other cultures and civilizations.
All the people I met in this mobility were keen on life, they were energetic and always smiling. I think that out of all the projects, it was the most beautiful, I made friends with whom I am still talking and now we are planning to meet again this summer.
