Tomorrow begins my last week as an au pair.
I do not want to leave. I knew coming into this that I would have to leave because of my Visa, but now it’s the middle of July and I wish I had opted for a two year visa so that I could stay longer.
Getting ready to leave the one place in the world I call home is so hard because I’m not ready and I will never be ready. I already knew France was my home after I spent two months here after graduation. And now I have to leave it again, even though I know I am going to come back as soon as it is physically and realistically possible. I am completely at home here. I have better control over my mental health. I feel completely à l'aise. I have no fear.
I am so grateful for the experience I had. I made mistakes, but I learned from them and grew into an incredibly strong young woman. I still have two weeks left at home and I am going to make the most of them. I have absolutely loved getting to know France and I cannot wait until I am able to stay without worrying about when I have to catch a plane to Salt Lake.
