Thanks for reading. Autumn
Read about my time as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student in Taiwan! Not sure what to expect, what to pack, what you'll be doing, how you will learn the language, or pretty much anything? I may not have all the answers, but I do have some. Read to find out how I prepared for exchange, my experiences in Taipei, (before my computer went kaput) and my reflections and advise having come back. I hope that it can be of help. Thanks for reading, Autumn 婉秋

We spent the night on the gym floor of Noblesville High. It wasn't as bad as it looks, and it was nice to have everyone in one place. photo creds: Kimberly (who's going to Japan!) |
Here is a picture of me, Barbra, and my fiend Wasa. (Wasa is going to France!) Barbra is an awesome person who I happened to sit next to at the conference. It turned out, she was presenting at the conference. Her presentation was amazing, inspiring, and tear-jerking. While she was on exchange in Germany she made a video of herself speaking as though she was talking to her future self. So while present Barbra stood on the stage, past Barbra was on the screen. It was amazing and I was very glad to get to share lunch with her. |
This is a photo of many of the current Outbounds (ambassadors leaving the US) and Inbounds (ambassadors spending their year in the US) at the most recent Ancilla College conference. it was a lot of fun and a great chance to get to know other future, and current, exchange students! I'm really excited for this upcoming one! These are the training sessions that help us prepare to leave. If you are considering being an ambassador through 6540 I would recommend clicking here, because we spend a lot of time at Ancilla. (I'm front right, most of me has been cut off) |
I got this book for Easter. It is about a young Taiwanese-American girl who is spending a month in Taiwan for the first time. I would recommend it to those who wish to learn about Taiwan. It is a fairly easy read and does not take much time. Thanks, Aunt Pipi for this present!! Thanks for reading! 'Till next time! -Autumn |
