Hey, My name is Theodore Massillon and I'm from Ocala FL, I attend Westport High School I am currntly in my sophmore year and would really like to expand my horizons by going abroad using AFS an culturte exchange program.
Out of all the countries I have seen I am most interested in going to Italy or France before you go and say this is so cliche everyone always wants to go to these places because it's so romantic so amzing etc. Is't that really just the surface of anywhere in the world? I'm pretty sure there are people all over the world that believe that all americans are spoiled rich and dont do anything serious with their time, and we believe in general France and Italy are so amazing eg. Eiffel Tower and Pasta. do we really have and understanding for their culture? But what if we could change their perspective of us and we could change our perspective on them then could we bridge the gap of misunderstanding. To let us understand each other and what if this could lead to bigger things like eventually world peace and understanding. Well I would hope to have such an opportunity to be part of something as amazing as this.
