FLEX, competition

[Libi Chan]

I've been to the US twice...(NY area and California)but not with FLEX
the country is worth seeing but not living...probably because of my "european" mentality))) if I go there this summer it'll probably be my last time

I had a chance to take part in this competition this year, but a didn't use it. Many people told me that it was a great chance for me, that I'd go to America and so on. But I didn't change my mind about that and even now I am sure that am right. Two my classmates completed first round and of course told me that if I took part in FLEX, I'd really win... They are waiting for an answer, cuz they made everything wright in every part of competition. I'm glad that they probably will go to America, because they really want to spend next year there. To my mind America is not the place to spend a year without any friends for me. My opinion about this country is not very pleasant. But the most terrible thing about FLEX is that my teacher, my mother, my friends really thouht(and now too) that I had to do this. I never promised about FLEX or a trip to America an I really felt very angry. Then I said that next year I will try, but I don't want to...

if you don't want, then don't do it...nobody has a right to push you
anyway, you won't get any satisfaction of the trip with such an attitude ;)

The most interesting thing about this is that last winter I wanted to visit America by FLEX so much as I don't want it now... =pretty=

What can I say... This programm is the reason why I am leaving for the USA in two weeks)
Participate and you'll enjoy it. FLEX is like a family where everyone is loved. It doesn't matter if you are the finalist, alumni or just a participant cuz once FLEX - forever FLEX.)

Thanks)) To be honest, I haven't heard about this programm at all too)) My school received the advertisment in two days before the first round of the competition and I thought it was just a chance to check my knowledge =loly=

I took part in this competition some years ago. And even took the second place in my city. But nobody asked me to go to USA, cause my family is unsuccessful.
