Description: Who doesn't love to follow their dreams??!! Well I'm confident everyone does although our parents might think we are a bit crazy... especially if our dreams include leaving the country! I was able to somehow convince my parents to let me go on exchange with a little DETERMINATION and just continuing to ask and then eventually getting a job to prove my seriousness. Anyways here is an interview with my dad to give you some insight on a parent's perspective. MAYBE you could even show this video to your parents SO THAT they can hear from a parent who has actually sent their kid abroad. And hey I didn't turn out too bad haha If you want to skip to a specific topic here are the 7 questions I ask: 1. What was your first thought about exchange? 2:30 2. What made you feel apprehensive about the idea? 3:12 3. What made you actually consider the idea of exchange? 4:15 4. What convinced you to let me study abroad? 5:46 5. What did you as a parent learn from the experience? 7:16 6. How do you think I've changed since coming back home? 7:59 7. MYSTERY QUESTION :) 9:00 I hope this is helpful and all you dreamers out there, DONT STOP DREAMING YOU CAN DO THIS! Follow me on Instagram: @kenna.burke
