Ok, so I have this crazy idea... I want to go and live with an American family for 10 months...

It's oh so exciting but at the same time... oh so scary ! So, I've been really interested by AFS but eh...I don't know :dozey:

 

If any of you have done this with AFS or any other organisation, share please !

Should I do it ?

Could you handle being away from home so long?

Er... that's THE big question !

I think i can if my host family is nice enough and if have a few friends there...

like you mean , you would redo your last year at highschool ?

or ??

Yeah thats the idea

oh Cool :D

 

 

and this is the most known organisation in my country ...

But I'm not sure if you can go to America with it ....

My neighbour has had exchange students.

Last year she hosted a girl from Japan, and the girl was in a terrible

car accident and hospitalized for weeks. Her family ended up flying from Japan to be near her. Once released from hospital, she did continue to finish her time here tho, and is still quite close with the host family.

I think you should. :nice: It's a good experience!

 

But then again, if it's affecting your studies, then you should reconsider.

Well, I'm really considering it... it's hard to decide :confused:

 

Thanks for the website Acquiese but this only works in Europe =)

 

Kels, that's a terrible story. It must horrible to be hospitalized in a foreigh country
