Is it worth it to try to be a foreign exchange student in HS?
Recently, the idea of being an exchange student really intrigued me. I wouldn't mind for how long, (1 school year, a semester, a quarter) but I personally prefer a semester. I really want to go and study in Japan because I love the culture, I've been there many times before, (my family lives there) and I'm somewhat fluent in Japanese. I would only look into going to Japan and I'm not really open-minded to go anywhere else, but before looking into it too much I was wondering if it would be a waste of one of my HS years in America. I would plan to do it in my 10th-grade year, (fall 2025) because I don't want to miss 11th & 12th since my school offers dual enrolment for college that year. I also don't really know how it works, because things such as AP/Honors classes, Student Council, and NHS are all on my plan for next year, and would missing a year of school mess that all up? Or does it all depend on your school's rules for credits and things like that?
What year is best to be an exchange student for someone studying to be a lawyer?
I’m going into my sophomore year of high school and have plans to go into law. It is also really important to me to be an exchange student, preferably in a country with a native language other than English. I think it is important for someone who hopes to practice law to be able to experience the world outside of the United States, to be able to broaden my views and perspectives. I’m wondering both “Which year would be recommended to go?” And “where would you recommend?” #July20 #law #lawyer #exchange-student #lawyers #students #student #college #colleges #study #July #July2020
