Should I go abroad, and where?

Question

There's a program to go abroad during my Junior year in high school, and I'd only have to pay for the plane ticket.

I don't know if I should take it, since I'd have to catch up with school work and might have to take extra classes the rest of my years.

Also, I live alone with my mom and my mom might get a little upset at me leaving her alone.

If I do go, I want to go to either Germany, Italy, Australia, or a Russian speaking country (I'm not allowed to go to Ukraine, Russia, or Latvia though)

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It all depends on what major are willing to take. There are some universities that offer scholarships for international students. Qatar is a place where they do that, since they are very wealthy. They have a community where all top universities from the USA have branch campuses on. They offer variety of majors.

Answer 2

Just think of it like this..Will you ever be offered this chance again? Thats a really good program if you only have to pay for the plane ticket what other teenageer will get to say hey I went and studied abroad for a while. and also colleges look at that kind of stuff and practically need to have you. With your academics your counslers can work out a schedule with you to fix any interferring classes and credits just think its all for youre future.

I fI had to pick I would say go to Germany firstly because you could use it more practically later on in life or then itally for a chances to see a diffrent social structure. and with youre mom youre at the point now where sshe already knows its gettin time to be where youre about to leave the nest and I m sure she wants whats best for you

hope it helps
