Introduction. The story will be told from the perspective of 2 people. Let's meet: Emil and Vladimir. Our dream of going to America finally came true. Before this, it didn't work out due to COVID. This year was also under threat because the embassy in Moscow closed due to politics. Chapter 1. The Beginning One sunny June day, we were informed that there was an opportunity to get a visa in Mexico. Without thinking for a second, each of us agreed. And so, on July 3rd, our group of about 30 people met at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport. I (Emil) flew to Moscow alone. We started getting to know each other and chatting at the airport. We successfully arrived in Mexico, in the resort city of Cancun. We were organized a transfer to a hotel that was a 5-minute walk from the Caribbean Sea. We ended up having a mini-vacation as well. After hanging out in Cancun for a couple of days, we flew to Mexico City. A very beautiful and large city. We stayed 10 minutes away from the US Embassy. We walked around the city, explored the sights, and brushed up on our Spanish. In parallel, we prepared for the interview. On July 7th, the first batch of people went to get their visas, and I (Emil) was in it. I stood in line for the consul, maximally focused, with a cool head. I approached the window, smiled, and said hello, and the dialogue began. He asked me 3 questions, and I answered them all in detail. I heard the coveted phrase: "Your visa is approved. Have a nice summer!". I was happy at that moment, realizing that years of waiting and the risks with Mexico were not in vain, onward to the dream! Out of our group of 30 people, every single one received a visa. In the evening, we went to celebrate our success. Chapter 2. America It so happened that I (Emil) flew to America alone, having found a good ticket. Vladimir and 2 other girls arrived the same day, just in the evening. My flight was Mexico City-Cancun-Denver. I landed at Denver airport, surrounded by Americans, everyone speaking English. I arrived alone to conquer America (ha-ha). I asked the locals how best to get to the city, took a train, and went. I got off at Union Station, near downtown. I flew with one backpack without suitcases, so I was traveling light. And so I was walking through the city center, looking around, and just smiling. But I wasn't walking for no reason; I was looking for accommodation options because our employer, Elitch Gardens, did not provide us with housing. We were very unlucky with the date because the MLB All-Star Game was taking place during those days, and all motels and hostels were booked. I walked through the entire center, called all possible options, but couldn't find anything. Evening came, and Vladimir and the girls arrived (from this moment on, the narrative will be from 2 people). Together we thought about what to do. We seriously considered staying overnight in a church with local homeless people, but the girls didn't want to. We went to a park, thinking maybe someone would offer us something, but they were closed, there weren't even guards. In the end, we found a motel, but all the rooms were taken. We agreed that they would give us a room, perhaps it was a staff room, and gave her cash. The next day we went to get settled at Elitch Gardens. We asked them about housing, but their options were all sold out. We left the park feeling sad. My supervisor, Ricardo, caught up with us. He found a motel for the first time, paid for it for us, and we agreed to pay him back after payday. Happy, we moved into the motel. At the entrance, we met a local named Caesar, chatted with him, and went for a walk, already without him. That day, four other guys from Russia were supposed to arrive. We met them at the station and went to sleep, 8 people in a 4-person room. Tight but cozy. The next day these guys moved out, and we went to hang out by the pool, where we met our good black friend Alonso. In the following days at this motel, we talked to him every day. Our work started

Good day, dear reader! I haven't been a student for a long time, but I decided to share my impressions of a divine trip. Perhaps this will help you make the right decision about whether to go/not to go/where to go)) I will write in detail, so there will be a lot of text. It's not very convenient to attach photos here, so I'm leaving a link to my VK page, there are photos from the trip: https://vk.com/evgeniimokeev Let's go!) So, it all started when I was a sophomore, when I was accidentally walking along the Griboyedov Canal embankment and by some incredible coincidence walked into an agency that deals with Work and Travel. Since I am open to everything new, I agreed to listen to a story about the USA and the girl spent about 2 hours painting all the upcoming impressions of the trip, and the price was quite ridiculous then, I only needed to make a prepayment of 4000 rubles. Why not, I thought, and made the prepayment. And... 3 days later, an announcement was posted at our university that this company was a scam, they were actively recruiting people, and then in the end no one went anywhere. My disappointment knew no bounds, as if a suddenly appeared dream had suddenly collapsed. A day later, I terminated the contract with them (the prepayment, of course, was not returned) and left with nothing. A year passed. In my third year, when moving into a new dorm, one of my neighbors turned out to be a guy, Oleg, who had already traveled via WAT just when I couldn't go, only from another agency - the International Exchange Center. I didn't think twice, went there and signed up, although at that moment I didn't have the money for the trip at all. As a result, I got a job at Key (a computer hardware store) and managed to earn enough for the trip and even more in a year) And in general, it was one of the most wonderful periods in my life - all this anticipation of the trip, collecting documents, planning routes... sigh) But that's not what this is about now) Well, everything went well, the visa was in my hands, I was going to go to the state of Idaho, to the Sun Valley ski resort. This place turned out to be simply divine, but more on that later)) When I was leaving, I had a feeling that this trip would be one of the best in my life (or rather, I was setting myself up for it and preparing to stir things up to the fullest!) And that's how it turned out)) It all started in New York... we were met at the airport and taken to a cool hotel right in the center of Manhattan. It was so cool that even when I write about it, I get goosebumps. The moment we came out of the subway and there was a huge number of skyscrapers around, considering that I hadn't seen buildings higher than 25 floors, it was an incredibly cool sight. As if I had arrived in the future 30-50 years ahead!! I walked down the street with my mouth open for a while until I realized that it looked strange)) In general, it is extremely difficult to describe in words, and even more so in text, you have to feel it!! In 2 days in New York, I managed to swim on a ship around Manhattan, go to the Empire State Building, go to Central Park and many other places that I don't remember well anymore) On the last day, it turned out that due to the time difference, I bought plane tickets for 6 am the next day after we were checked out of the hotel in New York, and that's where my adventures began))) I decided to save money and rent a hotel in a Chinese hostel (since it was expensive in Manhattan (from $240 per night in the cheapest place I found)). As a result, I decided to walk (3.5 hours), it's not every day you are in New York, and at the same time I will see the surroundings. It's good that I traveled light, with a backpack and a light bag, this made the process easier. While I was walking, a funny story happened: I was walking, it was already about 10 pm, there was almost no one on the street and there was a man, not very well dressed, but he didn't look like a homeless person and said: Do y

Everyone once thought about how to get to another country or travel around the world. As a child, it was a dream and a fantasy that we could only see on TV. Something unreal. However, now we have matured and we know that we have every chance to make the dream a reality. My name is Nuriddin and this is the story of how I got into the "Work and travel 2023" program. Far back in 2018, I heard from friends how they visited America on a student program, I was a schoolboy who thought only about where to enroll and for what profession. America did not concern me at that moment and was not interested. After a while, many people started talking about travel and programs for traveling abroad. Back in 2020, I just started to be interested in America and England, as I was studying English hard. At that moment, I realized that in order to understand the whole essence of the language, I had to visit and stay in the homeland of this language. And in the 11th grade, I actively studied all the programs for admission abroad. But it was already too late, unfortunately I could not enroll in Universities in America. Having entered the University of Kazakhstan, I did not give up and was looking for ways to improve my search and get to America. And at the end of 2021, my friend said that he was going to America under the “Work and travel” program for 3 months. After hearing this, I started looking for sites, information about this program. As a result, I found many agencies that offered to get to America. And one day on the social network “Instagram” I found the agency page @international_exchange_center. And then there was a set for “work and travel 2022". And with ambitious goals, I started studying this program, as a result, I realized that I would not be able to apply for 2022. For financial reasons, as well as lack of self-confidence. But what’s going to stop me? Absolutely nothing. Having studied this program well, I decided to prepare for “work and travel 2023”. Because I realized that this is my last chance. And also not a little important choice in my 20 years, I think. Since I am studying for the 3rd year. Soon I got a job, started saving money and actively studying English and the history of students who have already visited the USA. Thank God, now I am a participant in this program. So what do I think about this program? I am sure that this is one of the best chances to see the world and open up to it. Since before, many could not afford to visit another country, namely the United States at the age of 18. Every day I get an impression and a good opinion about this program. After all, it gives you so much experience, acquaintances, an interesting summer in America and a good lesson that you can't give up, you have to take risks and be responsible. In the future, this program will be very popular, although it still has a good reputation among young people. And now there are many agencies that help to get into this program. One of them and the best is @international_exchange_center (IEC). Since one of the reliable and have good experience and feedback from the participants. As well as good and high-quality cordinators and affordable prices. By the way, they have many different programs to travel around the world, and this makes them one of the best. In conclusion, I want to say a few words to young people, including myself. Never give up, pull yourself together, look at the world openly with interest. After all, you are closer than you think. Just believe in yourself, that's all you need to be successful and competitive. Use every opportunity and time to make your dreams come true. And remember, the world does not stand still, it moves, and you young people need to move with it, so as not to regret it in old age. Shayakhmet Nuriddin was with you and this is a story or an essay for the competition, I hope I will win.

Juraev Mullohoji The student of 1st course economic Faculty of the Khujand state university Name of academician B.Gafurova . Undoubtedly America is the developed country of the world, but Tajikistan should be one of the most attractive countries of the world in future. I wish to begin the compositions with the description of Soviet times. I sit much and I talk to people of the old generation, and they compare much and argue on how there was a life in the Soviet Union and what it became now. And when I said to them that I wish to go to the USA under program Work and Travel, they willingly recollected how they spent the vacation in student's building groups, and it gave the chance to them to go in other cities of the former Soviet Union. It certainly gave them the chance to study culture, traditions, and customs of other people. But it is necessary to tell, that they had rare possibilities and the moments to go out of Soviet Union. The Center of the International exchange was created in Soviet time, In 1989. I think, the program has opened different world for young generation. It is the program for those who thirst to expand their outlook. This program gives the chance to meet western culture, especially American, with which we are familiar on films, under stories of others. But it gives us possibility of personal meeting with people, dialogue, and work with them. Undoubtedly America is the developed country of the world. However what is secret of its success? May be they have more favorable nature? May be it depends of nature of people who live there? And there can be a secret of their prosperity in their aspiration to freedom when each person has possibility to realize? These and other questions always excited me, and I consider, that if I would get to America I would try to answer to these questions by all means. However my dream does not consist in remaining there, by no means. But I know, already today, that I wish to be the diplomat. Whom I would not become, I wish to see my country developed, attractive as America. All is learnt in comparison. Tajikistan became recently, the Independent country. It is necessary to make much that it became independent in literal sense of this word, has got economic, power and food independence. On what the future of Tajikistan depends? It is better to tell from whom the future of Tajikistan depends? Definitely I can tell from youth. How it should be youth? The youth should have the purpose before him/her The youth should aspire to knowledge. Youth should love the native land. But he/she also should be opened for perception of values of other cultures, to study experience of other countries, and to be able to apply this experience in the homeland . Only in this way each one can bring the mite in development of the country. Everyone think of the future, wishes to get good education. When I have learnt for the first time about this program, I have understood that it was for me. It became a surprise for me. Because I wished to continue the study abroad. This program could help to carry out to me my dream. I will have possibility to meet my contemporaries from the different countries, Eastern and Western, with their culture, psychology, with their attitude to a life and many other things. Many foreigners have no idea about Tajikistan, and as I am Tajik I could tell them about our culture, our traditions and customs. I wished to become the diplomat and as the future diplomat should find with all common language. For the diplomat it is necessary to know languages, history of the people and to possess leader’s skills and the main thing to form in him ability to understand others, and for this purpose it is necessary to study others. I am assured that program Work and Travel can become a starting stage for my Education and the future Career. And How I see 2009 for the International an exchange centre. I think that activity of this program has been most of all connected with sending youth to America
