Questions, departure, and Rotary
Hallo people,
Well today i'm going to talk about my departure, and what is Rotary. I guess I could have mentioned this in the first post, but I am going to Germany through Rotary youth exchange. Rotary is a service organization that is in many countries across the world. Compared to other youth exchange programs, Rotary tends to run quite a bit cheaper because it is volunteer based. You can travel to many different countries in South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. If you want to learn more information on Rotary youth exchange you can go to this link. http://www.rotary.org/en/studentsandyouth/youthprograms/rotaryyouthexchange/pages/howitworks.aspx For the packing aspect, I am only allowed one 50 pound checked bag and a carry on. How am I supposed to fit a year into that?? Well Im heading out for my year long adventure on September 4th. I plan to update this blog while I am in Germany maybe weekly. I may update more often than not with a couple pictures or so, it just depends on how everything is going. Untill next time, Tschüss(:

Pre departure Germany
Hallo!!
My name is Sierra and you probably already know this, but I am going to be a Rotary youth exchange student next year in Germany. I will be staying in Hohentengen am Hochrhein, which is in Southwest Germany and in district 1930. I have been in contact with my first host family and i also know where I am going to be attending school!
For preparation for departure, I have attended two orientations. My favorite one was a camp in Arkansas for 5 days, which was a great experience. I loved talking to the Rotex at the camp, and I hope one day I can become a camp rotex! I have received my pins, business cards, thank you cards, Guaruntee form, and the best of all, my Rotary Jacket. : ) I will insert a picture of it after this post. Well I leave for Germany late august or Early September. My next post will probably be the night before I depart, so until then tschuss!!!
