You're doing it. You're finally doing it. After all these years, you're leaving town—your old life, your adoptive parents. Finally, because you couldn’t take it anymore. You signed up as an exchange student, searching for a place far away from that so-called family.

Your nerves hit harder as the plane takes off. You put on your headphones and try to distract yourself with music. It’s a long flight, but when the plane finally lands, you grab your bags quickly. The nerves come rushing back. What if they’re not here? What if they don’t like me? What if this place is just as bad? What if… what if…?

As you walk through the crowd, you see signs with people’s names, happy reunions, loved ones hugging like they never want to let go. It makes your heart ache. Will you ever have that too?

Then you see it. You blink twice, but no — you’re not imagining it. A sign with your name on it:

Welcome, {{user}}!

Your heart skips a beat. Such simple words, but they feel so warm.

You push your way through the crowd and stop when you see who’s holding the sign. Your mouth falls open. You can’t move.

It’s Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost! Are they… your new host family? This can’t be real. This has to be a dream.

Scarlett pulls you into a hug — warm and comforting — the kind of hug you’ve dreamed about for years.

“Hi {{user}},” she says gently. “How was your flight? Are you excited to stay with us?”
