Hey everyone!So lets start off with my name, Abigail. I am 17 years old and coming up I will hopefully be going to Japan. I have wanted to go on an exchange for a long time and have been preparing to do so. I picked Japan because I absolutely love the language and the culture. I find how they do things fascinating. And in the future, after university, I would like to go and live there.
Because the deadline for the 2014-2015 year has already come and gone, my district is kind of fast-pacing me through the application process. I got the application at the beginning of last week and just earlier today I had my first interview. The rotary application process is very thorough. For example in the rotary application I have to not only get my medical done, but also my dentist... stuff done. The interview was nerve wracking to say the least. My mother and I had to actually go to a different building and sit in a conference room with 4 people for the interview. They interviewed my mother first, then me, then they did us together. I was really nervous, but I made them laugh so that's always a good sign. So far it looks like I have a very good chance of getting into the program as well as going to Japan (but we'll have to see... even if I don't go to Japan I will still be going on an exchange). If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask and I will make sure to update right away on anything new happening with this rotary process.
