A Day in Katy’s Life

One of my closest friends I have had here in Ecuador has been my host sister; Katerine, or Katy, is super shy, very funny, and loves Korean soap operas. Right now in in-country re-entry training she feels like one of the few special people I really, really extrañar from my community. I feel very lucky to have spent this year with her along with all my other amazing siblings. Her life at the moment consists almost entirely of just going to school and staying at home, but I am sure she will go out and do great things for the world one day. She was the star I chose for my “A day in his/her life video” project. I really enjoyed the experience making this video in all the settings of her day. Here’s the video:
