15 Sleeps!

You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

In 15 sleeps I will be heading off on the adventure of a lifetime. I am lucky enough to be heading to the states for a year to attend high school. I will be living in a little town called Wray in the state of Colorado.

My name is Sarah Kerr and I am 17 years old. I live in Christchurch in the south island of New Zealand. Since I was about 12 years old I have had the dream  to study in the states for a year and my dream has finally come true and I it is hard to believe at times. My school here in New Zealand is Middleton Grange. It is a great school with awesome people and teachers. I had my last day there on the 14th of July :( But now I am starting a new school. So many new opportunities. New people, teachers, subjects and sports. This is a opportunity to do something I have never thought of doing. Play a different sport. Take a different subject.

Wray is a little town with the populations of about 2000 people.


That's where my new home is for the next year.

I will be living with the Zwirn family for the next year. I have and younger sister Chasity (11) and a younger brother Connor (5). I have always been the youngest in life in my family, school and friends so it will be different to be the older sibling.

So I don't have long till I leave but I have many things to do, the major one is to pack!

Sarah :)
