Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2629304, member: 6761"] It's always amazing to me to greet 18 yr old international students at our New England school. While other kids have their parents load up their SUVs with every imaginable piece of teenage paraphernalia and know they can go home on weekends or short holidays, these other kids kiss their folks goodbye for many months, hop on a plane--or two or three--with a couple of suitcases and land in a place they've never been--sometimes in a language which isn't native to them--and do just fine. You are so right, oldude: what scares the hell out of us is something these kids do so casually--and so well. [/QUOTE]
