Tomorrow is my interview and I am ready! I have my questions prepared and I will be ready to write down the answers. I have told many people about this wonderful adventure and they are so excited for me. I know this will be great and help me with independence.

My parents are very proud of me since I did this process on my own. I wanted to go to France because I’ve always wanted to learn french and France seems like the best place to learn. I looked up programs until I found the best one. I kept asking my parents if I could go and each time they said, “Yeah sure.” Not in the excited way, more in the whatever way. I kept asking, and finally they said yes in a positive way. My dad help me look up programs and he called them and found that CIEE was the best one. I emailed back and forth with a lady and told her I was really interested in doing this. Now that the application is in and I have been accepted, I am so happy I didn’t stop asking.
