Hello world!
(I'm totally copying wordpress defaults!)
Before I get on to the second part of my post, I guess I should introduce myself a little. It's like an icebreaker... but I'm the only one doing it! Weird!
My name is Irene. I'm a sophomore in high school, Taiwanese by descent.
I heard about Youth For Understanding's programs through one of my friends, who got a scholarship two years ago (Thanks Lexie!) ...
...and five essays, one interview, immeasurable minutes of waiting and encouragement later, I received an email from the Japan Business Society of Detroit last night.
I almost exploded into pure energy right then (good thing I didn't, I'm sure pure energy is pretty messy to clean up), which is probably a pretty accurate measure of my current level of excitement.
Not sure exactly when I'm departing yet, but I'll post when I get the formal invitation from JBSD.
...oh and AP tests. ohnoz!
Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me get here-- Mrs. Brunsch, Mrs. Miller, all my friends who put up with my emailing them to proofread, my family... you really touch my heart. I'll do the best I can for all of you. Thank you!
~Cheers!
