Patricia Wambui. unlike Melanie Niekerk, who was from South Africa, was from Nyrobi, Kenya. In Kenya, Patricia lived in a children's home which housed approximately eight-seven other kids Within her own family, Patricia had three older sisters, ranging in age from 19-24. During her year here, Patricia took part in two AFS get togethers. These get togethers were at Quail Hollow and Cedar Hills. All exchange students and their host brothers or sisters attended these events Patricia also experienced an exchange weekend These weekends sent all of the students in the area to different cities. Patricia went to Berkshire and PainesviBe Harvey. Patricia found her year to be successful saying, It takes a lot of trying and a lot of drive to be able to live away from your home Being here had helped me to grow up a lot and has helped me see the changes I need to make within myself It may have been a lot of trying, but Patricia made it seem easy.
