Studying overseas is an extremely eye opening experience, not to mention one of the greatest learning experiences you could ever encounter. There is nothing weird about wanting to do this. My exchange to Japan has been the single best 9 months of my entire life. There really isn't much I can do about your mum lol But I can help on the information front. First thing I would recommend is researching study abroad exchange programs on the internet, especially ones dealing with Highschoolers as that is more suited to your situation. Another great source of help is YOUR school! Talk to them. Tell them that you are interested in doing an exchange and ask them who it is you need to talk to about it. Some schools may organize a partnership with a school overseas and send, like, 10 people overseas and accept 10 people from the partnered school, or something. Hope that helps Nesha, don't hesitate to write back if you have any other questions! For sure Nesha!

Reasons. 1. I love learning new things 2. I want to travel Seems weird I guess but I would really like the help since I am a 10th grader in high school and living with a pressuring mom.

GO FOR IT BRO! Oh.. and a way I got a lot of people hooked on my blog was by sending the link to it in a MASSIVE e-mail to all my face book friends. I had to split all my friends into groups of 20, then send out about 20 e-mails for 20 people each. The day I did that, I got 400 visits in one day. Ever since, I have been at a steady 50 hits a day! Also, if I update my facebook status as "Blog updated - Nipponwaters.wordpress.com" I get a pretty number of hits as well! Hope that helps! WooT!

Heck...my blog even uses the same theme as yours! Anyway, i see you're still in the middle of the process to be accepted into Kansai Gaidai. Very nice university, it was one of my top three options but in the end i chose Sophia University. You may be noticing by now that the process is a pain in the ass, with so many requirements and obstacles to knock down, but everything is worth it. I have like 90% of the process done and just need to book a flight now to depart on september 17th. Well, if you want you can drop by my blog (http://betogp.wordpress.com/). Sorry but it's in spanish (i'm from mexico, btw). I've been reading parts of your process and i don't think it's very different to mine, so if there's anything i can assist you on, don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck!
