My big chance...

[kenshinbebop]

My school is putting up an exchange program in which I can board with a family in Japan for 3 weeks next summer. It will include a tour of major areas as well. It's probably my best chance at getting there. And yet...I ust don't know.

What do you all think?

take it!!! and if it turns out that you got stuck with a family of axe murderers then atleast you got to be horribly maimed in a really awsome country

unless it stops you from doing something else important, or it costs an insane amount of money, i say go for it since these opportunities dont come by everyday

Go Go Go~!!
Here I am struggling to find a way to study in a Japan Univ. -_-;
I was pretty skeptical at going and I was really hesitating. But I just decided that I should go for the exchange program at the end of my summer vacation. But..I think I'm kinda late cuz my TOEFL scores are outdated. Meh..
I do have my JLPT scores and my TOEIC scores but I'm gonna have to take a risk. Whew~

So don't hesitate~!! If it's something you really want go for it!
Gather info and make preparations~! Hurry~! ;)

Do it! Unless you are in training for olympics or some such thing.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
You never know, the insight you get might help you in future, even in your career.
My school friend got picked for an exchange program. She went to USA for a year. Her english became so good, when she returned, she became a private tutor and later got a job as an interpretor. She even organised some business venture with her host family (although that was short lived).
Just broadening your horizons is worth it. Hell, you might never get another chance and will be kicking yourself for a long time to come.
