What we learned spending a year with international students in Winnipeg

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manito... When Telma Gonzalez Suran came to Winnipeg last year from France, the Grade 11 student looked at the move as a test. "I wanted to challenge my life," said Gonzalez Suran. "Leave my country and do something crazy." After spending a year at a high school in Charleswood, making new friends, improving her English and living through a chilly Prairie winter, Gonzalez Suran said she discovered even more about herself. "Before, it was really hard for me to stay alone. For me it was, 'I want to be with my friends, be with my family.' But now that I'm here, I just like my own person," she said. That is just one major change in the lives of four international students wrapping up their year in a Winnipeg high school.
