News from Jeremy - our Paris AFS son...sounds like he is doing very well with his education...I love the way he writes. Please let us know if you would like to contact him.

Hi, Second results, second win!!! I have passed the test to get into the double degree in political Sciences of the University of Kent and the IEP de Lille. If my last test in August is a failure i will be going next year to Canterbury, England to study for a year before going to Lille fore a year and then doing the same thing for the two years after before studying wherever in the partner universities everywhere in the world, Youpiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i manage my test in August i will have to choose between the best Political Sciences Institute in France (and Europe i think) or my double degree in two high class universities (in their own country, though).
My future is way better than i ever imagined it to become. It's quite good to feel to have a goal for the next five year. A goal that gets me in England, France and maybe Another country to study the things i am interested in.
Indeed it really feels good to be a graduate. High school is defenetiley out of my way and i start the last journey of my Quest ( i feel inspired today...) But yet the feeling is real, five more years to go and i'm done!
There isn't much news left, we're redoing the living room and a restroom. My parents are slowly fashioning the house in the way they want it to be.
I don't know when i'll be able to return to the USA. Next year i'll probably need a job so i might be able to save some and come to ol' good Independence.
Well i hope your doing as good as me.

If there was to complain about something i'd say i don't have much news from you though, keep me inform, i feel like i'm standing further and further of Independence and all of you, i don't like that feeling.

Love

Jérémy Apert
