Felipe Rocha Paes, a student at Acton-Boxborough High School, is about to finish his junior year of high school -- in Switzerland. Even before he started high school Felipe knew he wanted to be an exchange student. His father (born in Brazil) was a Rotary exchange student as a teenager and had shared his positive experiences with his family. Felipe felt he was up for the challenge. He applied and was accepted into the District 7910 program and got his first choice country -- the French speaking part of Switzerland.
