Sarkís is very involved in all types of activities and is taking advantage of everything the Sea to Sky program offers. “Every weekend I go to Whistler to ski with students from both Squamish and Whistler and I love it. It was one of the reasons I came to Sea to Sky. I can’t do this in Mexico so I am really taking advantage of this while I am here.”
We also asked Sarkís about his homestay and how he is fitting into his new family in Squamish. He said, “My homestay family is the best of all. They are so nice and friendly and they help me a lot. I think I couldn’t have a better homestay than them.
Sarkís Mena Ponce De León from Mexico did a lot of research before choosing his destination for his study abroad experience. He is happy he chose Squamish and Don Ross Secondary. “When I decided to come to study in Canada for one year, I was very nervous, but now I think it was the best decision I have made. I love living in Squamish! It is so close to Whistler and Vancouver and everyone is nice and friendly.”
Sarkís is really enjoying his stay in his new community and his life at school. “One of the things I like most about Squamish is my school. I love my classes, the teachers, the students and the sports at Don Ross Secondary. Everything is awesome.”
