Leave it to Hsin-Ta Andre Tsai’s to make me the proudest (albeit saddest) host mom ever. Check him out decked out in all his graduation bling. — yep, I’m gonna be that person and brag about the fact that not only did he graduate with 2 degrees in 3 years, but also that he also got into Oxford.
I unexpectedly ended up as Andre’s host mom while I was still a student, because they had a shortage of host parents that year. He was later reassigned after I graduated but we still would meet up and I’d give him advice when life got a little too heavy or check in on him during peak stress times to make sure that he was taking care of himself.
I’m definitely going to miss this guy!
