Andrea Godfrin’s Experience at NA

Mary Alice Russell was able to ask her exchange student, Andrea Godfrin, about her experience at NA. Here is her response:

“Last year, in October 2015, I participated in the exchange program with USA and France. It was a beautiful experience, one of the best in my life. I met new and wonderful people, a new way-of-life, and I learned a lot of things! My exchange student Mary Alice and her family were so nice to me and this summer I went back to their house. I really recommend for you to do this exchange if you like traveling (especially seeing Paris) and meeting new people. Thank you to the Norfolk Academy professors, students, and the Russell family. I hope to see a lot of Americans during the next exchange in March 2017!”
