Back in grade 9 French class we were given the option of writing to a student in France to assist us in our language skills. I took up the challenge but its funny.......it didnt' happen to me personally but one of my classmates had her penpal write back in English asking her to do the same, she could probably understand better LOL. My penpal was Roman. He was lovely. The company that made this possible sent out a letter saying that we could get more penpals worldwide. I jumped at that chance and ended up with penpals in France, Austraila, Singapore, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Mexico, and many many more. We shared everything, from what we were doing in school to the culture differences. It was amazing and i still have every letter i ever received. One thing i've cherished more than anything was some paper lanterns and oragami animals i got from my Singapore penpal. Now as time went on, i lost touch with them. I regret that so much! I do have a friend from the U.S. that i write to. We email moreso but we still write letters. Its so much more personal. Plus i'm a sucker for putting stickers or little doodles all over it lol. I sent a letter yesterday to another friend, i actually miss writing as much as i used to. Sometimes i'll get out the box of letters i have and read them. Think i'll write to them all and see if anyone responds
