Imagine....

Imagine being dropped off in a country where you thought you knew the language only to find out they say things in such weird ways and talk so fast you often feel a paragraph behind. Imagine living with a family you have never actually met. Imagine trying to interpret their family "code" (rules and behavior expectations) without stepping on anyone's toes. Imagine suddenly having 3 younger sisters and that you must all 4 share a bathroom. Imagine having no friends the first day of school. Imagine being only 16 and away from your family for a semester or two.

Exhausting isn't it. Takes a very brave teenager to sign up for this! I'm proud of her already!

I can't even begin to imagine how scarry that would be. I admire how adventurous she is. Hope she has a wonderful time. She has a great host family!
