student ambassador program, ??? Options

[xBitterxSweetx]

so i got this thing in the mail saying that i was invited to travel and study in Japan with a group of other kids for 2 weeks because i got recommended... or something. and i reaaallly wanna go to Japan but the letter didn't give much information, it practically just said that i was invited to this meeting for information. but i really don't want to waste my time if i end up finding out i have to pay for this program!

so advice? or has anyone heard of or been apart of the People To People Student Ambassador Program?

[LatinaLady]

advice
call them and ask. its simple. if you dont get to pay or even if yuo do butit aint much go for it

[silver-rain]

that sounds cool. why don't you search for them online? did they give you a website where you could find more info? that might help.

[amanduhsayz]

erg prob. some stupid advertisement

I was invited to that.
I didn't go, I thought mine was going to DC for a course in leadership, and some important policitian was going to talk to us there.

I didn't look much into it, probably should have.

I was also was part of the John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth talent search, where they had the kids who scored on the 97th percentile or higher of some certain big test we took take the SAT. I did that, took the SAT, and got a high enough score to do lots of their summer programs, but they've all passed now, and my parents said it was too much money to go to those places. :(

And also there was thing for being in the gifted class (SIGNET, but i don't know if your school calls it that) that I could go for two weeks to some place - oh wait, i think that was an early form of your Student Ambassador thing

I got the same thing...but this one is to go to Paris in England...Yes it's the People to People Student ambassador program. It costs like more than $1000-$2000 dollars and you get to just travel and stuff to learn more about certain things while getting college credit.
=D

[highly_evolved]

Erm...it's not. My friend went to it...=P

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

I was going to do that, except I was going to go to Europe. It sounded really fun, but my mom wouldn't let me because she said it was a "dangerous time to leave the country alone" (this was just after 9/11). It's supposed to be cool though.

[Levy2k6]

EVERY OTHER PERSON at my school was sent a letter... i was like... omg i got this. im so cool... next day... GDI! im not the only one so i never signed up or anything...

yeah. lmfao.

[diz_babe_pnai]

i just got one of those letters today. i got the one to go to England and France. i really want to go, but my parents are a bit unsure of me going all the way to england and about the money. we don't know how much it costs, so i'm kind of worried. since my cousin got it also, my parents are just going to talk to them about it.

anybody have any idea how much the england/france trip costs?

[angel-roh]

i think one of my unies aka friends told me that she got that mail too, but i dont know if she meant the ambassador program but anyways... didnt they give u the contact sheets. call them or email them

[*tweeak*]

i know some people in it, but i dont know much about it though (w00t 900th post, 100 more to go!!!)

[laur3nw]

heyyy i got one of those letters too, but mine was to england and france
i wanna go
it seems like a lot of fun

[Levy2k6]

i wouldn't register to that cuz then i be walking up and be like.. "yeah..." lol.

at my school during the summer, they go to germany and austria and stuff and i think i might want to do that kind of stuff.. its awesome and u live there for a month and stay with a host family.. fun stuff.
