    Exchange is about learning... learning how to live.


    ich denke mal, den satz sollten sich die ganzen armen leutchen, denens im Ausland grad nicht so gut geht, mal dick und fett an die Wand schmieren

    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    ........grupExchange is about learning. It's not as simple as
    learning
    whatever
    it is taught in school, though. It's about learning
    how to
    listen,
    how to speak, how to think. Learning who you are,
    who your
    friends
    are, the type of people you want as friends.
    Learning how to
    trust
    your innermost feelings, and how to find those
    feelings in
    the first
    place. It's about learning what's really important
    to you,
    and
    learning what you really don't give a damn about.


    Exchange is about how to tolerate, how to accept,
    how to
    like, and
    how to love. Learning how to give as well as you
    receive,
    and how to
    trust that everything will even itself out on it's
    own. It's
    about
    learning that your mom and dad do have the right
    answers
    sometimes,
    and that your kid sister isn't such a dumb little
    kid
    anymore.
    Exchange is about learning that sometimes a kiss
    isn't just
    a kiss,
    sometimes it means more, sometimes it means less.
    Learning
    how to
    achieve, how to succeed, how to accomplish. It's
    about
    learning how
    to not come in first place and still be proud. And
    about
    coming in
    last and learning how to admit that you could've
    been
    better.


    Exchange is about learning that large parties don't
    necessarily mean
    a good time. Learning that loneliness doesn't go
    away in a
    crowd, and
    sometimes it's ok to be by yourself on a friday or
    saturday
    night.


    It's about learning that your lunch time crowd does
    not
    constitute
    your popularity, and that popularity is all a
    matter of
    perspective.
    It's about learning that boredom is simply laziness
    of the
    mind, and
    watching 3 hours of TV every night is not quality
    relaxation
    time.


    Exchange is about learning how to pack a bag and
    how to pack
    a room
    full of way too much stuff. It's about learning
    that people
    probably
    like you whole lot more than they'll ever tell you,
    and that
    is your
    responsibility to make sure your friends know how
    much you
    appreciate
    them.


    It's about learning how to miss people enough to
    not stick
    them in
    the past, and how to not miss them so much that it
    keeps you
    from
    moving into the future. Learning how to motivate
    yourself
    and how to
    motivate others.


    It's about learning how to swear in all the
    different
    anguages at
    all the other exchange students.


    Exchange is about learning... learning how to live.
