CLAY COUNTY, FL -- It is Friday, so that means it is time for our Student of the Week.

This week it is Carmen Villavere, she is a 16-year-old exchange student at Orange Park High School. She is from Spain, but has been in the US for around 9 months. Carmen says she is loving all the activities she would never get to do at home, like going to prom and homecoming. Her favorite subject is US History because it is something she never had the opportunity to learn about before.

Carmen says if you are a student interested in a foreign exchange program, you should definitely do it!

"Don't wait, because you are never going to be fully prepared for it, that is why you need to get the experience and to learn from it. To travel abroad and learn from other cultures and meet new people and just start a new life," she says.

After she graduates, she would like to attend college in Barcelona and study visual arts and become a photographer or videographer. Outside of school, she volunteers and is involved in Girl Scouts.

A big congratulations to Carmen Villavere at Orange Park High School for being our Student of the Week.
