In the Event That I Am Leaving

Hello fellow humans. My name is Anna Whisenant and this post is made in the event that I am leaving. Maybe you've heard the old song, "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again." ? This short snippet of a song my mother used to sing to me, very much entails my life's current events. You see, in approximately one month, I will step onto a plane and get off in Seoul South Korea. I am an exchange student with Rotary Youth Exchange. This means that I will be spending my Junior year in High School in Uiwang South Korea.
I plan on keeping this blog to share my experiences in South Korea with whoever cares to read them. I hope that you, dear reader, enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy living it. I am lucky in many respects. The first being that my family is willing to support me in my decision to be a foreign exchange student. The second that I am going through such an amazing organization, Rotary. The third, that I have met many inbounds and outbounds who have come to be my family and my closest friends.
My sponsoring club is Mount Horeb's Rotary club. I am the first student that they are sponsoring to go out on foreign exchange. I am honored to be standing in that position. I hope that through my travel in South Korea, I make them want to send more students. I'd like to thank them by showing them that they have made a good decision in sending me to go.
At this point I am Ready To Go

Thanks for reading!
