How to Plan a Successful Spring

1. Plan Ahead
* Note that in order to prepare for a Spring Break vacation you need to allow yourself adequate time and resources to make your trip possible.

o Now that you know where you are wanting to go, how you are going to get there and where you will be staying you need to purchase tickets for the method of travel you choose as well as reserve a room at your choice of hotels.

How to Have a Great Vacation Without Parents

1. Keep busy. Find something to do that is so fun, it will take your mind off of how much you miss your parents.
2. Write or call your parents often. Hearing their voices or getting a letter for them will make it be more bearable to be without them. If you have access to email, that would work, too.
3. Make some new friends on vacation. Sometimes you can meet the most interesting people when away from home. You could meet a best friend or a new pen pal!
4. Talk to someone if you feel absolutely miserable without your parents. Whether you're with family members or a friend and her family, no one wants you to be miserable. Talking to someone can help make you feel better.
5. Find souvenirs for your mom and dad to bring back to them. It can be fun to find special gifts for them, and they will appreciate the gesture.
6. Know that it will be good for you to more or less fend for yourself without your mom and dad stepping in to fight all your battles.
7. When you arrive home, don't tell your parents how much you hated your vacation without them, even if that is the case. Talk about the good points of your trip.

How to Host an Exchange Student

1. Prepare a room for them. Your student will feel more comfortable in your house with their own room. Adorn walls with flags and maps of their country.
2. Learn about them. Try to obtain their e-mail address, so you can begin communicating with them. The sooner, the better.
3. Try to make them feel welcome. When you see a group of friends, introduce your student to them and let them meet each other. Try and say their name with their native accent in mind.
4. Don't try and do too much. In most cases, many things in their country are the same as they are in your country. Don't point out every tiny detail you see because it will annoy them. Do not speak loudly with them. They just speak a different language - they are not mentally defective.
5. Be polite and mind you manners. However, politeness and manners differ from culture to culture. Try to learn about the exchange student's culture before hand. Discussing these differences in manner can be an important way to share knowledge of each other's cultures.
6. Spend time with them. Chances are they won't visit you for a long time, if they do visit you again. Take them to the beach. Give them Coronas and teach them games that don't exist in our culture like sand-style hopscotch. Hosting an exchange student is something you will remember for the rest of your life, and hopefully you will remain lifelong friends. There are many different cultures all over the world. Keep an open mind, even if your Mexican exchange students appear similar to your friend's Japanese exchange students. Remember, they DO NOT all look the same. Appearances can vary from region to region.
