please give me advice?

Answer 1

HaHa, of course you should go this chance may not come again your friends will always be here when you come back. think about the oppurtunities this can bring you you not only get to travel to spain you have fun and in the future you get paid more in jobs for speaking two language take the chance

Answer 2

A few days after you are there, you won't miss your friends that much :).  Seriously , it IS a great opportunity and if you are social (which you sound), you will make lots of friends in Spain.  My problem in countries where I don't speak the language is always communicating, but you will even have that with your fellow classmates (be sure NOT to speak English!).  

The time will go fast, you and your friends will survive without each other for a few months, and it will look great on your college applications--I say go for it.  There IS email and IM, remember.

Answer 3

Oh my goodness! I defiantly have to go! It will be a chance of a life time! Plus it will look good on any resume or application for college. You will also be a step above anybody for jobs if you are fluent in two languages! You will meet so many amazing people!

If you don't go, you might look back in a few years and regret not going. Yes, you will miss a lot while you are gone, but you will gain a whole lot more!

You can email me if you want to talk some more. I am also going to a foreign country soon, but I will be gone for a whole year!

I hope that this has helped!

Answer 4

wonderful opportunity! u will love spain!u will always regret it if u dont do it now-go for it!stepping out of ur comfort zone is good.u can email ur friends every day if u want to,but why not meet some new friends,too?and freakin' cute guys!!!

Answer 5

Go if you have such great opportunity.  If you miss your friends send them emails and you'll probably have so many things you can tell them about your life in Spain.  But if you you are really thinking about future, i suggest you go to Spain when you are in High School...if you have the choice.   its really important to do out of class activities during High School years because you might get credit for it and its looks good on your record when you apply for college.

Answer 6

If you and your parents have decided that going over seas for the summer is a viable decision, then the answer is really up to you. New experiences are sometimes frightening but I think they make us into brighter and bolder individuals. As far as being away from your familiar surroundings and your support network, once again, this can be scary, but life is full of scary but worthwhile opportunities; I call these things, adventures. I have been lucky enough to have traveled quite a bit in my time and I find the experience both enlightening and essential for understanding the world at large. Go for it!

Answer 7

ofcourse,there ain't nothing wrong with you wanting to go to spain for the summer,take chances!!!!!no harm ever came from a trip!
