Questions #4 and #5

4. Why have you chosen to become an AFSer in high school, instead of waiting to study abroad when you're older?

I'm really interested in Japan right now, and I don't know if that will change, but I have the opportunity to go, so why not? I think it'll also be easier for me to learn the language when I'm younger, as opposed to waiting a few years.

5. What do your family and friends think about your decision to become an AFSer?

I don't entirely know. Any friends/family reading this, tell me what you think! My parents and my brother are all excited for me, but I know they'll miss me, too (even though my brother claims otherwise). My friends are excited, too. Everyone wants to see pictures when I go, so I'd better take a camera.
