My name is Laura. I am 16 years old and I go to Sheepshead Bay High School. I was arranging to study abroad for a year with the AFS program in 2015 but I was not able to get the money together for the program so I rolled my application over for the 2016 Japan year program. I will be leaving New York to study abroad with AFS Intercultural Exchange Program for one year in Japan. I want to study abroad to broaden my view of the world and understand another culture. I enjoy learning and have been trying my best to achieve this dream academically. I hope to gain understanding of the host country I'll be living in; I want to learn the language, the culture, the history, the trends and the struggles and life styles. I want to come home after my year abroad to share with you guys, friends and family. While abroad I plan to give my individualized presentation on the people of New York and america to break the boundaries and become close friends with my host country. I would like to ask if you can fund my AFS experience because I come from a low middle class family.
I know it seems like I am being selfish for applying for such an expensive program but I believe this is an opportunity for me to get a good education and do many things that many people in my school and community can only dream of. I want to live life to the fullest, do what my heart yearns for and follow my dreams cause I know it will lead me on the right path. I painted many picture and sold them, baked cupcakes selling them in my school, collect bottles,cans and any recyclable items to exchange for money and started Sponser an AFSer program.
