Ever start reading something and spend a good amount of time, that you could be doing something more productive? And after you realize that it's a waste of your time, it's already to late to stop reading? Well this is that post. This post is only information on the process of a Rotary Youth Exchange... So if you could be using the five minutes it will take you to read this to do something more productive, stop reading here and get 'err done.
Only 14 more days until I leave for Belgium, and start the 2nd year of my RYE.
Second year of my exchange? Did I read that properly, you ask yourself. And the answer is Yes, you did. See, doing a RYE is a three year process.
During the first year I am called an `Outbound student`, and it started in October. When I filled out the first and second applications, had an interview with my Rotary club, went to RYLA South, got accepted to become an exchange student, got my guarantee form, went to Outbound Orientation.
My second year of RYE starts as soon as I leave for Belgium, and during this second year I`ll be called an `Inbound student`.
When I return from my exchange next summer I`ll then and forever be called an `Rebound student`, meaning I have already been on my exchange, and experienced the greatness of it, and now it`s my turn to encourage others to apply for RYE, be a mentor to future Outbound students and participate in activities with Inbound students.
Well I'm hoping now that you finished reading this post, you didn't just say to yourself "Wow, Jane was right, I should have been doing something more productive with the last 5 minutes instead of reading this"
