I'M GOING TO GERMANY!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO CBYX AND WILL BE LIVING IN GERMANY FOR MY JUNIOR YEAR!!!!!! I honestly did not think that I was going to be accepted and I was hoping to at least be an alternate. When I got the email I couldn't believe it when it said I was a finalist! I was on the bus on my way home from school when I got the email and I just started freaking out and crying. Then I called my parents and texting all my friends! I can't believe this is actually happening and I am so incredibly thankful for this experience! I am so excited to find out my host family and to leave for Germany! Here is part of the email!

Dear Danielle,

We would like to be the first to congratulate you on your acceptance to the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship Program! CIEE is thrilled to have you among our 50 students chosen from the Southeast United States. Now that you have made it through the selection process, we must begin preparations for the year ahead.

I am still in shock and it hasn't sunk in yet that I WILL BE IN GERMANY FOR A YEAR!!!
