How To Shapeshift In To A Wolf Spell

Time to say Goodbye

slow So - or rather quickly, because I ran out of time here - in my year abroad in the United States tends to an end. Over eleven months, I now lived in my host family at the other end of the earth. When I look back at the time, I see through as many ups and downs I went during the year.
Not everything was always easy and many mountains were before me had to be climbed. Among the many expectations and hopes with which I brought here, had many fears and anxieties: Will I be able to keep up with my English at school? How is the Verhältnis zu meiner Gastfamilie sein? Werde ich von meinen Mitschülern angenommen und akzeptiert? Um ganz ehrlich zu sein ist sind hier alle verrückt geworden und haben gelacht über meine ganzen Sorgen, die ich mitbrachte: Die Schule stellte sich als ziemlich einfach heraus, meine Gastfamilie ist die beste, die ich mir hätte vorstellen können und von meinen Mitschülern wurde ich mehr als nur akzeptiert, ja ich war regelrecht ein Teil der ganzen Schule.
Dennoch bleiben einige Ängste bestehen, denn oft war ich auch sehr allein und herrausgefordert in manchen Situationen. Mit vielen Einstellungen der Amerikaner viel es mir sehr schwer zuzustimmen, dennoch musste ich mich als Ausländer den Gegebenheiten hier anpassen, was seems not so easy when it first comes out.
If I were to describe myself how much I since the 07th August 2008 has changed, then I would say that my faith was strengthened particularly. The experiences I have had in the church and the people around me a very different picture of himself gave me; my past, present and future. On the other hand, I've learned to appreciate the very German qualities.
One of the most questions I've been asked, referring to the university costs in Germany. While many complain about the fee, most Americans laugh at the 500 € we per semester pay in some states have. In the United States begin the cost of a college at 20,000 € per year. Good universities even require up to 80,000 € per year. Even a highway or at least public transport, most here do very urgent. Although the railroad was invented in America, a train to know that most students at my high school just a picture book.
Although I get homesick for the eleven months, not once, but I do not have a good breakfast with regular sandwich with cheese and salami.
The year was of course overshadowed by the U.S. presidential elections and the global financial and economic crisis. Barack Obama is a sign of hope and change. Every day we receive all new messages from the company to declare insolvency and break down of businesses that create jobs. We are left with all but the hope for a better world, when the mountain stands before us once is over and everyone gets a chance to start all over again.
Also, I will take my return in some way as a new beginning. A fresh start with the old, that I am familiar, the experience I have made, and the perspectives and opinions that I have experienced.
"Be the chance you wish to see in the world", said Mahatma Gandhi once. "Be the change that you'd wish the world to see."
I spend my last days here with my friends and my host family. Last week I went to Niagara Falls in New York State and Canada: A breathtaking spectacle of nature, but that once ran seriously think about the waste and the pollution of our planet ...
would conclude, I again thank all this year made it possible for me. Anticipate all my parents who have supported me all the time, my brothers, grandparents, relatives, teachers, and our MPs Wilhelm Josef Sebastian, MP. Thank you for everything!
