i realized that I never really talked about exchange. Weird since this whole blog is about exchange. What I mean is that I never really got deep about it. Exchange was something that I longed to do. What I never thought I'd do was worry about it. Thinking about the abroad year seems like forever. It seems like you would be gone for a long time. In reality it goes by fast. At times you feel excited to go and other times you feel like a wreck with your nerves going everywhere. The moments you think that you're actually going to a another country makes you feel like you can do anything. There are also the moments when you think about going to another country makes you feel so small. Exchange gives you many emotions wherever you may be. The application for becoming a youth exchange student made me both nervous and glad. Being accepted gave me great joy but also brought the whole "oh my god. I actually got accepted. Now what…?". Finding out my country was the same. So cool…but wait, I don't know the language. Not so cool…. Meeting new students, new rotarians, new friends. It was all great. Exchange seems scary to many and perhaps even crazy. To me exchange is crazy, but exchange is also a way to learn more about yourself and change. Giving this up would be something I'd regret. If you ever wonder about being an exchange student I suggest you should consider. It is a great opportunity and it is very neat! It seems terrible but it really isn't. I am glad I decided to be an exchange student. Sayonara!
