Getting Ready!!!

Greetings,
I recently learned that I was accepted by AFS Paraguay Intercultural Programs. After all of the work and papers that needed to be filled out, it was done and in a month I will be leaving to start my adventure in the city of Luque.
While this still seems so far off into the future - it is becoming clear to me that this time will fly by. So much to prepare for it is almost too much. Too much in that I am so excited I cannot wait to get there.
Some say that 15 is to young to start out on such a big adventure, but then so is 16, 17, and 18. An adventure is an adventure. No matter how old you are you will always learn new things.
What I hope to get out of this year is something that will last me for the rest of my life. Of course you will appreciate the culture and the food and the language, but it's not just that. It's about getting to know your new neighbors and spending time with a new family and friends. Learning and sharing your experiences and growing in whichever way possible.
I will keep blog updates throughout my journey in Paraguay!
Peace & Love,
Vivian
