Hi i live in georgia,united states of america. Im 15 and im a freshman.
and i have so many questions. first i don’t really know bout rotary. i looked at yfu and tons others. i couldn’t find on the rotary site how much it cost. and the only choices i saw was could be gone for a couple of weeks or a year. and i don’t want to be gone a year. but i don’t want to only be gone for a couple of weeks. i want to be gone at least a semester. and the only reason i went with rotary is because i heard it only cost $3,000. is that true, only 3,000? and is there any other student exchange program where i can be gone a least a semester and is reasonable amount of money? like the 3,000 dollars is okay but i don’t think my parents are really okayy with spending 7 and 8 thousand dollars to study abroad.
you said ‘Also, try to go after you have graduated from high school, this will allow you to graduate in Georgia with your friends, and then travel abroad. ” if i do this, will i not grauduate on time with my friends?!

you said “I almost had to repeat a year, which I did not want!”
i dont want to fail and i want to grauduate on time with my friends. if i do student exchange wich is my dream, will i have to repeat a year or grauduate late?

So I am a college student and I found this beautiful looking girl at the library. We were exchanging eye contacts.

First time I saw her, I introduced myself. But she was not making eye contact with me. The other friend was making a shy face, so I presumed that she is either shy or not interested.

After 2 weeks, today, I saw her again with her friend at the library. So, I sat with her. I was just asking what is she studying and etc. She is a freshman and studies biology. She was keep laughing and smiling and her friend seemed to be smiling and not irritated by my presence.

I tried to talk to her more, but she was watching lecture, so I stopped. When she was trying to leave, I asked her whether we could have coffee or not and told her that I would like to get to know you more.

Then she told me to give my number to her, so I did. Then I asked her to call me, so I could get her number as well.

Then she said, she will call me but not now.
wow.. so I asked her last name, but she told me that I wouldn’t like to tell that to someone I don’t know.

Then I told her okay and said bye and good luck on your exams.

Do you think I was too abrupt about asking her to coffee?? Is this over? or if I see her again, I can talk to her to break more ice so she would lift that “stranger” label on me??
oh yeah, I didn’t have much chance to tell her about me, because she wasn’t really asking. I figured this is because she is either freshman or is not interested.

What does is mean to invite a Japanese boy into a girl’s room?
Is this not normal? Even if a boy was invited to study or get a book or something else that was totally innocent? Can this be misconstrued in some way because of normal Japanese culture?

I would really like to know because there is a male Japanese exchange student who I invited to a study group in my room.

Thank you!

I’m a 10th grade female student. I made fun of the special kids and foreign exchange students. I used to bully kids and copy there answers for their homework. Yesterday, this puny Lil 9th grade girl’s sister came with her mom. I taped her on her shoulder while I was on the opposite side to impress my friends. Then, the 9th grader came and said lets fight. I thought she was joking. She was like 100 pounds. I’m at least 15 pounds overwieght. I said I;m black, i’ll fuck u up. Me and my friends laughed. Then she just punched me in my stomach. I puked my lunch out. While I bent down to catch a breath she punched my face in. She broke my nose. Then she put her knee out while I was on the ground and jumped. Her knee went right in to my belly. Blood came out my mouth. She was actually strong. She told me she took martial arts awile ago but I aint beleave. She grabbed my long hair pulled it, slammed my head off the floor multiple times. She punched me in my eye. Its a little black. She tried to twist my arm but a teacher broke up the fight. They took her in the office. But for some reason they didn;t close the door. She ran out and kneed me in the jaw while I tried to get up. My tooth came out. There was alot of blood. She was crying after. We used to go to the same school and I always bullied her. Did I get what I deserve. I cant face my friends now. Am I a bad person. If I am, do I owe this girl and apologize for bullying her and say thanks for showing me I must change.

I am thinking about creating a video series with the goal of helping people improve and refine their writing technique to a college or semi-professional level. I want to be able to use some real examples to show where improvements can be made, and I think the best source of such examples might be from pieces of writing that I’ve personally helped others to improve.

This is where you would come in. If you’ve got an essay or other piece of writing that you want some feedback on, provide me with some means of contacting you and we can either arrange for you to send me a file, or your can respond to this question with your piece. I think you should be able to privately message me through my Yahoo Answers profile if you don’t want to post your personal info here.

I’ll try look over what you’ve written and do what I can to help. The type of writing I’m looking to help you with is something in essay format, such as a story about something you’ve experienced, a persuasive essay, a compare and contrast essay, or a critique or review of a movie or other work. I’ll point out any grammatical and spelling errors that I notice, but beyond that I’ll give you feedback on the overall structure and flow of the essay. I’ll tell you where I think you might want to add detail, and identify redundancies that you may wish to trim away. I’ll point out areas where I think your word choice or phrasing could use improve, and anything else I think of.

After I help you (if I help you — I might be too busy to get around to helping everyone, or you may send me something that I can’t really find anything wrong with) then I’ll ask you if you mind if I use bits and pieces from your writing as examples in my video series (if I actually follow through and end up making it).

Ideally, our exchange will be a back-and-forth. You send me the original, I reply back with my thoughts, you revise and send it back to me, I give further feedback, and so on, until one of us loses interest or we decide that we can’t improve the paper much more. For this reason, it may not be ideal if you need help with something that’s due tomorrow.

Ideally, you already have something written, though nothing more than a few thousand words in length. It doesn’t have to be good (it’s better for me if it’s not perfect) or complete (I can try to help you figure out how you should continue or finish what you’ve got) but it should be something we can work with.

I suppose there are a couple other things I should make clear. I won’t be writing or rewriting a paper for you — just pointing out things that you may wish to improve. I may give a few small direct suggestions that you could use in your paper, but for the most part I’ll be giving you general advice that you’ll have to apply yourself.

Lastly, my credentials, or lack thereof. I’m not a professional educator. I’m a undergrad college student. I know that I can write on a college level and I understand many of the principles and techniques that allows me to do so. My goal is to help others reach that level, and maybe learn some things in the process myself.

Thanks.

I’m from Canada and i’m going to Australia on an exchange in July 2012. Long time from now but i wanted to get some info from everybody who has either done it or even jsut knows about it …heres the questions.
I’m going for 5 months, will I pick up the australian accent? and for how long ?
what is the percentage of my host family being near the ocean ?
Is the flight there and back on a public plane or is a special plane for student exchange?
what are people like in Australia ?
If you have gone on an exchange, how did you get over that nervous fear ?
Any answers to any of these questions would be fantastic
thankyou thankyou

hey everyone, thank you for your time i will try and keep this short ! Each year at my school (I live in Australia) about 20 exchange students come to the school for half a year, and I didnt expect this but Ive fallen for one of them, hes from Germany. We have gotten to know each other really well and both really really like each other alot he is almost perfect, whenever i am near him i feel such a strong connection between us, its something ive never experienced before. We have just started dating and its amazing but then i remember that he is leaving in another 4 months back to Germany…….
When i first started getting to know him I always keep in mind he was leaving, but decided to take the chance. My question is….what on earth do I do ??? do i make the most of his time or move on now ? i know when he leaves i will be crushed and depressed because i get sad not seeing him for a day, i know hes going in another 4 months but i dont wanna get heartbroken, what do i do !!!

No easy way of saying this so here it is. I dropped out of high school.
I was reading up on the japanese culture and how different their work ethics are. I became glued to anything related to Japan even slightly over the course of a single night.. Anyways, I dropped out of High School at 10th grade. I’ve studied for and received my GED and want to study abroad at a Japanese university.

So here are my questions..
Is it possible for a person with only a GED to apply for a full scholarship at a Japanese university and actually receive one, and if not, would I most likely have to study here in the states at a college for at least a year or two until being accepted becomes realistic? Also, if a full scholarship is unlikely, would a partial one be more of a possibility?

Without at least a partial scholarship, studying abroad in Japan will be completely out of the question due to financial problems.

I’ve been thinking about this topic for a couple weeks now and I’m very interested in studying over in Japan for at least a year. And yes, I’ve thoroughly read through dozens of guides, articles, as well as watched numerous videos to get an idea of what the culture is like over there.
Forgot to add that I’m 18.

We have Japanese exchange students coming to my high school, and my choir is singing this pop song because it would be familiar to them for when they arrive. I was wondering if there was anyone that knew where I could find the lyrics to this song in Japanese? I’ve studied japanese for three years and would like to sing this song in their language.
