If you are invited to become a
Student Ambassador and represent your country, state, city, and family, I
would recommend that you take that chance. This trip has been one of the best
things that I have ever done in my life. I believe that Dwight D.
Eisenhower's understanding of peace is quite true. In order for there to be
peace, there must first be an understanding of cultures. Through this
program, you can help bring about a true understanding of what the typical
American teen is really like. Unfortunately, our culture is too often assumed
to be like that of our celebrities lifestyles. However, it's an amazing
ability that just one single teenager can bring about a new understanding of
the American way of life through this program. Whether you leave a good
impression on your Homestay or be courteous to every new person that you meet
in all of these new countries, you are making an impression of Americans
around the world!
If given the chance, I would do
this program again. There's no doubt about that. I had the time of my life on
this trip, and I would do this all over again if I could. I believe that this
is the chance of a lifetime, and I would strongly encourage all who receive
an invitation to apply.
