A little bit to share

Hola! I'm Vivian Cox, and I'll be going to Spain for my Sophomore year of high school with a program called AFS(American Field Services.)  I'm really excited for this great opportunity, but I'm also sad to be missing my Sophomore year of high school at Jordan in my home town of Durham, North Carolina.  While I'm in Spain I'll be staying with a host family (hopefully cute Spanish brothers) and attending a Spanish school.
I want to go abroad because in this day and age, everyone needs to be a global citizen.  I like to think of myself as an American ambassador, showing Spaniards that not all of us are fat and lazy.  To me, traveling is one way to inch towards world peace. (Not to mention how fantastic this'll look on my college applications.)
By reading my blog, friends will be able to communicate with me from an ocean away, prospective AFS students will get an account of what exchange is really like, and you'll be doing me a great favor ;)
