AFS Italy
Hi, my name is Berke, and I have been given a great opportunity to go abroad with AFS. I live in Phoenix, AZ and go to high school at Shadow Mountain High School. My mom got be me in to this great program and now I love it. I want to go with AFS because I know it's going to be a great experience, and my favorite part is going to be learning a new language. I already know Turkish, English, and a little bit of French and would love to learn another language. In return when i come back i was thinking about hosting or coming back and volunteering my time with AFS to talk about past experiences with the program.
My family and family friends are saying it will be a great experience and will be really fun' also that I am really lucky. Some of my friends are sad that I am leaving and don't want me to leave. Also my football coaches are too.
I don't think i have had any challenges yet but one and I think that the rest will come later when I'm abroad. that one challenge that i came over was accepting that this is going to happen and it is a reality. I was thinking my mom was joking when she said things like this for a couple months. Also at first I didn't think it was going to be any fun or any type of experience. Then it hit me that this is really going to happen.
So far I have asked friends family, and family friends for money. I have also applied for some scholarships. This summer I am trying to find a job to also help pay for this oppurtunity.
Thanks for Reading my blog, I will try to update it every couple weeks. :)!
