Kennedy

So this is a little late, but better now than never, huh?

The question asked if I had ever been in physical danger? I don’t recall any specific time when I felt that I was in serious danger, but I felt something similar when my friend was in danger. While I was in Germany, my best friend Mariana (another exchange student) went secretly to London. She had a friend in Frankfurt, a couple hours on the train from our city. She told our host parents she was living there, but really, she had bought a plane ticket to London and flew by herself to a city she didn’t even know any one in. She was there for about 4 days. A few times, her cell phone died and we couldn’t get a hold of her, and other times, she wouldn’t call me or my other exchange friend that was living in the same city as I did. She ended up making it there and back okay, and our host parents never found out, but it was really scary for us. One week later, on the radio, we heard about the subway bombing in London. Had she been there one week later, she could have been hurt there or even killed and only one other girl than myself knew she was even there.
