Scholarship ApplicationScholarship ApplicationScholarship applicationBachman Academy, Tennessee, USA:Hello, my name is Trine Thisgaard. I am 14 years old, and I come from Denmark. I would like to introduce myself and explain why I should have a school year in USA. I have always wanted to go to USA, but I haven’t got the chance. I really admire everything in USA, it’s just bigger and better. A year in USA! I mean it’s a chance to study and meet new people, and it will open new chances for me. I think I have a great knowledge, and I plan to organize a group that helps the poor in USA. If I get chosen to be an exchange student here, I will definitely do my best to help in any way possible.
I think that this school got the abilities that I am seeking, and I think that this is the place for me. I want to move on to new challenges, and I think that this place could give me the challenges that I am looking for. I want to try something new, something bigger and something greater, and I think that USA is the answer. USA is the country of possibilities. I want to launch a career in USA, and I think that this would be a great place to start. I think you should chose me, because I got the will and the abilities, to lead my dreams out in the world. I will fight for this school, and I will fight for my chances. I think the last thing I need, is to improve my oral language. I need to get some accent into my language, and that is also why I want this scholarship. I doesn’t think you can learn it in a better way, than living in an English-speaking country.

That’s right, this is a good start. I think the best way to begin the future is and hopefully you will understand my plans.”
“A big part of that speech was the words that I used during the interview. I’m not a lawyer, but I know some things, so I wanted to use my experience in this community and other places as a catalyst to tell stories. … So, the reason I picked this one is because I just want to set a bright future for a lot of young people here, but I want to keep my vision as clear and as bright as possible, and I can’t change the future. I want to do something that’s really big, and that’s a whole new world that I think will help me gain more experience in the future.
A few years ago, I began training to become a lawyer. I think it’s a good idea, so I gave a little bit of a head start to it. In a way it made some sense, because I’m not a lawyer. I’m a teacher. I teach English, but I never teach this kind of stuff out in the world. I don’t know what I want, but I did talk about this, and I’m pretty stoked, and I’m proud that my students have chosen me to go there. I’m just proud of myself.
A couple of weeks after that I decided to go into coaching, and now I’m looking at being the new coaching director to handle the legal stuff. (laughs).”
“We’ve got about six weeks left till we get there.”
“I didn’t know where we were going. I think the most important thing is to do it right. If we could only do this in four to six months, I think it means a lot to me. If we can just do it right, we’ll have an even better time and hopefully we’ll be able to do it in two or three months if that works out. It’s like anything good, but it gives you energy.”

This kind of thing might be something for your best kids. You have a hard time to help your kids make a full-time life for yourselves. I think most of the other parents I talked to when I got involved in this were very adamant about making it more than about making it easy for us. I think when people tell you it “makes you want to talk more and you want to talk harder, you understand,” that’s just it that mentality. You need to do everything you can in this world, and you need to do it because that really makes it fun.
It helps you understand a lot. I mean, all you have to do is stay in your classroom and teach something, and it really comes down to that – you have to focus on that. At the end of the day, if you stay in your classroom you can only do your job, and you’re not really doing your job as well as possible. That’s true of the school. At the end of the day, you have to get your work done. If you are not at home or in school, then you’re going to end up living a life that might come crashing down. When you come to school,
