heeeeelp meeeeeeeee

i like posting annoying titles

okay so there is this going abroad program. i might want to go to japan for a year during my junior year. but should i do it? because that's the toughest year and sat's and ap cl***es. etc. etc. i really don't know what i should do. advice?

 

I'd suggest studying as much as you can, IF you do end up going. I've been studying for about 2 years now, so I hope that is my incentive to do so.

I say go. It'll be adventurous and it'll be an acedemic overboarding. ^^

 

your junior year in high school?

well, there are pros and cons.

First, colleges will like that youve had the experience of a different culture, but at the same time they may look at that year as a loss.
Second, traveling anywhere is always a wonderful experience, though you are young and will probably have this chance again (most likely, be it on your own or with a program).
Third, junior year is one of the toughest and one of the ones that colleges concentrate the most on, so you really want to impress them at this time and going away during that year could be detrimental for your educational future as far as grades and such go (though this is not always the case).

Basically, this is a matter of weighing the good agaisnt the bad. I would personally not go. i would concentrate on my last two years in high school and work hard to make it into a good college and then see if the opportunity arrises again (though if you ever decide to go during college they say its best to wait until your sophore year in college).

Anyways, i hope i was able to help you, at least in your thought process. if you do go, have fun. if you dont, work hard but dont overdo yourself! ;)

 

I think you should go for it!! Study hard and make the right choices and you'll be alright. If you don't that's okay it migh be better to go in college.(I'm only 14 and a freshmen)
I wanted to go study in Japan, England, France or Italy, but now that think about I don't think I will be studying abroad cause I don't think my school offers it and my mom doesn't really support it. ( All I had to do was say study in Japan and she said that I needed to broaded my horizon. Cause I like anime or as she calls it "the freaky Japanese drawings") And when my family doesn't support something I enjoy doing it makes me uncomfortable and uncertain.(sorry this is off topic! :o )

 

Mwahahaha, you should totally do it. oh and thx for reminding me to take my SAT's (im a senior already XD). plus studying in japan is like being in college cause the classes their are more harder and stuff. plus ur a pretty hot asian girl so im sure you'll fit in fine once you get a school girl outfit.............and take many pictures .

 

You shouldn't go. Colleges care much, much more about SAT's and ACT's than you going to Japan for the biggest year of your high school education.

 

Yeah, but she could always just take it when she gets back with all her new knowledge.

 

hmm.. alrighty. thanks guys for the advice. i've talked to my mom about it and i'm not going, i think i might do it during college but it wouldn't be the same as highschool.
