Ahh! That's awesome especially because a lot of parents will completely blow off the idea. If you aren't sure what the next step is, I would go to your counselor if anyone has already done exchange in your school and what they did. If no one has gone well there will be more planning but thats the fun part ;)

I'm going into high school soon and through out my six and seventh grade years I have considered becoming an exchange student. This would definitely be something out of my comfort zone but it would be enlightening. I was thinking about exchanging to either Japan, Korea or France. Your tutorial was extremely helpful and I'm sure I will be able to follow these steps but my only problem will be convincing my parents. We haven't been out of the country before so it would be a new experience for them to let me travel to a whole other country, Alone! I'm worried that I won't be convincing enough or that they will just be too paranoid to let me go..any advice?

I had never been out of the country either before so I understand how it seems a little far fetched... don’t be fooled it is totally possible. You just have to prove you’re serious and willing to work for it. I got a job for example and went and talked to my counselor to figure out how I would graduate on time. Doing all of this shows how it is REALISTIC.

And if you went to college, did being an exchange student effect applying to college in any way?

@KennaBurke

4 жыл бұрын

Ok so I took some classes over the summer before leaving for my exchange year and then my senior year I got a credit for an Italian exam I took (I worked with my school and counselor to transfer the credit so it would be accepted). I also had no blow off classes senior year so it was definitely a grind, but absolutely worth it and it taught me that hard work and a challenge makes you realize we're capable of so much more than we originally thought. Having exchange on a college application is a huge plus and will set you apart. You would apply the same way as anyone else though if you are going your junior year.

I don’t want to do terrible in school just because I don’t understand the language but I also want to be immersed and have lots of practice time... Also, I’m really worried about how things will transfer back here. I am scared of leaving my home and my classes that I already have.

Honestly I never really realized how much work goes into being and exchange student. Cause my dad is in the military so I had the privilege of geting to travel the world with him and not have to fill out days worth of paperwork. I realized a lot about the work and mental stability needed to be away for a whole year in a different country. I hoping my sister can help me out in that perspective considering she's been abroad for nearly 3 years now! Doing research now is super time consuming and learning Japanese is hard. But hopefully I can persevere through it and manage to convince my parents to let me try and do a exchange program.

Hi!! So with rotary we are given an allowance every month and can have a personal account which you can fund before or while abroad. In the beginning you won’t understand the language 😂😂 this is the hilarious part, and this is why we all end up learning the language so well is because were completely immersed into it. A lot of independent study and with rotary we had a weekly language course!

Kenna Burke thank you, helped a lot!

i got here after watching 3 of your videos in italian, it's so strange when you speak in eng, looks like another person ahahah

Thank you very much for this, Dove Camryn

i love ur energy

How well do you have to know the language? Would completing the Duolingo thing be enough to get by when you first arrive?

Yes. You are not required to know the language when you arrive, but it will help you a lot in making friends

I have a question can you be an exchange student for more than a year?

Kenna Burke maybe more about the full Rotary experience, that it the organization I am most likely going to go with so I am interested in the little details that I may have to go through, thank you for replying! Edit: also maybe what it was like going to a country that spoke a whole other language! I am considering France but I’m a little concerned about the language barrier. Also, what factors impact the top 5 list, if any?

@KennaBurke

risa cantu RISA, Thank you for being so specific! Anyways the language barrier you can easily break down through the willingness to learn the language and culture. The top 5 list will be impacted by your choice and experience. You choose the top 5 list, although ultimately the Rotary club has the final say in where you go.

to be a exchange student, do u have to learn a language before highschool? (I didnt watch the whole video 😅)

Do grades play a big part in foreign exchange because as someone with adhd I have a hard time paying attention.

caio braga Your grades do not play as big a role as your character and willingness to be open. I knew a girl who made Cs and Ds and went on exchange. In short not so much. :)

Hi! Thanks so much for this video. It was really helpful! I was just wondering if you learned Italian before you went to Italy. And if you did, how you learned it? Also, how did you get you not lose credits from you American high school? I’m worried that if I did an exchange program I would have to re-do a semester or a year at my high school.

I know the question is weird, but I do have a lot of questions. First of all, Id love to thank you for your hard work and appreciate your efforts

山杜結城 Are you an American citizen as well? As long as you are, you just have to apply for a visa to stay in the country that you would exchange to! In regards to paying, everyone pays before going on exchange. Although many Rotary clubs do offer paying in segments before leaving! What you pay will cover your flight and insurance, this is why you have to pay before! And thank you very much I’m glad I was able to help you out in better understanding the process🤩

​@@raidengamer1193 Ah, I must've read that wrong. Rotary is active in Egypt and I believe they have youth exchange as well. Do you know if there is a rotary club near you? This is what you would need to find out and if there is, contact them and ask for information about youth exchange. They could give you all of the details that are unique to their club!

How does this work with high school credit requirements?

@KennaBurke

5 жыл бұрын

Swervo This will be unique to everyone. Although most likely you will not get any credit for the year abroad. You might be able to get a language credit through an exam, which I did. You’ll have to talk to a counselor to figure out what credits you still require in order to graduate. For some this may mean an extra year of highschool to finish, for others you might be ahead in credits so you can still graduate on time. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
