Celebrity Status

My Belgian plays soccer. Really. well. He is a superstar at the local High School and I have told him thank you for elevating me to celebrity status. I love hearing the awe with which other parents discuss "the foreign exchange student from Belgium" while I'm sitting within earshot. It's even better when I feel like participating and mention, "I'm his host mom". I always get a "Oh he's such a great kid" or "He plays soccer so well". I love it! Totally fun.
