A Girl Called Tim. June Alexander
to topple off, the letter arrived. Encouraged by its big size, I tore it open to find a letter of congratulations on being selected as an exchange student. Almost a year had passed since starting the application process and I’d been afraid to think about going in case I wasn’t selected. Now I could allow myself to feel excited. I ran to the dairy and tell Dad; he gave me two big kisses. Mum seemed to have mixed feelings. Joy was happy. I rang George at 8pm. He answered the telephone and as soon as I said ‘Hello’ he knew the letter had come. ‘It has come, hasn’t it?’ he asked. ‘I can tell by the sound of your voice that you are going to the USA.’ He made me tell him that I’d won a scholarship and then he fell quiet.
I would miss George but my dream was coming true. Well, almost. My host family did not live on a Texas ranch. They lived on a Hampshire hog farm in Missouri.
