Okay - I Need To Go Somewhere!

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I just feel like i have to go somewhere...somewhere new..meet new people...interact. I feel really bored with my life at home and i want to do something new this summer. I already managed an internship at my congressman's office, but i feel like doing something else. </p>

<p>I want an experience away from home...just a few days. I want to meet more INDIANS (lol...welll that is a bit exclusive isnt it!). It's true though, i feel the need to interact with my culture more. Idk how to explain it...maybe someone can help.</p>

<p>Clearly, many, actually most deadlines have passed, but any advice?</p>

<p>I live in Chicago btw...</p>

<p>Why not just convince your family to take a trip to India? The only alternative option is to pay a ridiculous amount of money to attend a short summer abroad program by yourself. Since most of the high school summer abroad programs are profit organizations, I wouldn't bother.</p>

<p>Not all families can afford to fly to India for a vacation...</p>

<p>there will be dragons has some interesting abroad programs.</p>

<p>MidwestMom -- yay ur from the midwest like me! I am going to be a junior next year and unlike typical indians, im not completely crazy about science/math, but I dont mind them either. If I was given a choice to choose...it would definitely be the humanities for me!</p>

<p>Midwestmom- sorry, forgot to answer ur last question. I can go anywhere, just not outside the US as the airfare tickets and such would not workout...otherwise I would just fly to India! haha. But, im open to many options within the US.</p>

<p>You sound like you have some suggestions....please tell!</p>

<p>i cant afford there will be dragons either, but i thought i'd mention it.</p>

<p>One possible suggestion - since you mentioned wanting to be with Indians.
Shraddhaa</a> 2008</p>

<p>Another possible suggestion
The one-month credit classes at Concordia Language Villages let you work on a language and be with older teens.
Summer</a> Youth Programs-4 week high school and college credit sessions</p>

<p>Is there any Indian temples near your area?
Maybe you can get some more information from there.
Sometimes they have summer camps or lessons and you can get a job there.</p>

<p>so I know that this isnt Indian-exclusive, but a few summers ago I did the northwetern ctd summer program, and there were a ton! of Indians. I bet the deadline has already passed but if you could commute and if you qualify, they may have class openings... and if you call them you could maybe snag a spot. They have a ton of course offerings and they are three weeks long</p>
