After a couple of weeks of tracking down pictures, organizing pages, and writing small passages... Azi's 40-page yearbook is finished. The hard copy will arrive next week, but I like that Blurb includes online previews if, my dear reader, you have the energy to search for the books I've written for my exchange students: A Year in America.
I've created these exchange student yearbooks since 2008-2009 because I know they'll foster fun memories for these international students in the years to come. I've always pictured these boys-turned-men showing the books to friends, future partners, or children. In some cases I'll be long gone when this happens, but the idea makes me feel good.
I know Azi's parents, sister, and entire family will love paging through this book when he returns home in the next few days. They will picture the deep friendships he's made with both young and old and get a glimpse of the world created here in America. I believe his parents will get a greater sense of their son's life here and that will make their sacrifice of sending their son to America even more special. There's something unique about a collection like A Year in America that captures the moments of one's life.
Here's to Azi... his family and friends. Godspeed.
