Pour ma classe de théâtre, j’ai aussi du ecrire un monologue et j’ai choisis le thème de mon année d’échange, bien que le texte soit en anglais, je trouve qu’il représente bien le fait de ne plus vouloir partir et quitter cette nouvelle vie.
« Being an exchange student in Canada has shown me what true happiness feels like, something I never fully realized while living in Switzerland. Here, I feel free—free from the stress, the rigid routine, and the constant pressure that seemed to define my life back home. I’ve discovered new passions, new friendships, and most importantly, a version of myself I genuinely like. It’s not that I don’t love my family and my home country, but sometimes, being far away gives you a chance to breathe, to grow, and to see life in a completely different way.
But the thought of going back to Switzerland scares me. It feels like returning to a cage of expectations, where the days are predictable, and the stress is never-ending. I’m afraid I’ll lose this sense of freedom and happiness I’ve found here. Canada has been a fresh start, and going back feels like stepping into an old, uncomfortable routine that I no longer fit into. I wish I could stay longer, to hold onto this new life and avoid the fear of losing myself again. »
