Being there granted me the opportunity to leaf through the miles of print material organized for distribution, and little by little I began to realize what I had become a part of. Even if my experience with our students was indirect it seemed that I was playing a small role in making a few dreams come true, and making the world a smaller, more understanding place.

I speak to our representatives and managers on a daily basis. I help our students connect with their families and make friends. As a part of the organization, I help to make sure that this great social experiment keeps running. And as I field calls, send emails, write articles, and read through reports, I get a picture in my head. I see a student meeting her family at the airport, or a teenager meeting his foreign brother for the first time, or, like so many of you out there, a student adjusting his or her cap and graduation, listening to a commencement speech delivered in a language that only months before he or she may not have fully grasped.

And because of that I can tell people I meet with confidence that student exchange is one of the most powerful diplomacy tools ever created.

You have proven already that there is more to see and learn than our lifetimes will allow, but don't ever let something as rude as time stop you from trying. You are the brave young people that took the plunge. You are the fuel that moves us all forward. Your spirit is what encourages us all to be curious and kind.
Depart with my thanks and congratulations, and make this the world you believe we all deserve.
