INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE CENTER My Trip to America Performed by: 2023 International Exchange Contest participant Almas Nurkhan Checked by: International Exchange Center Astana, 2022. Youth travel and student exchange programs – what I know about them. Nowadays, one of the main dreams of students is to work abroad through an international exchange program, earn a substantial amount of money, and travel to see beautiful places that satisfy the eyes. This is the only effective way to fulfill these dreams: youth travel and international student exchange programs. It is no secret to those interested that this program has achieved great success to date. The program has been operating for over 50 years. Of course, the country that students are most interested in is the United States of America. The beautiful cities and amazing scenic places of developed America inspire not only students but people of all ages. However, the program is not limited to the USA. Besides that, it opens paths to the best countries in Europe, such as Germany and England. But the main goal of summer travel and international student exchange is to provide an opportunity to expand knowledge and understanding of the United States of America through joint cultural and work experience. Yes, it is certain that every student who has participated in this program learns a lot by engaging in interesting traditions, new culture, civilization, and a new society in the USA. As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing," a person quickly integrating into the life of a country on another continent across the ocean teaches them more than just earning money and working. Furthermore, by seeing historical places with their own eyes, they can understand history, and by talking directly to people, they can understand the culture, education level, and social stereotypes of that country. My experience in the youth travel and international exchange program. I am participating in this program for the first time. Therefore, this will be my future experience. I have not been to the USA, but I know what it is like to go to another country. In 2017-2018, I traveled to Uzbekistan twice. During the trip with my mother, I visited Tashkent, where the Kazakh judge Tole Bi is buried, and Samarkand, where Amir Timur built a mausoleum. Although Uzbekistan is a neighboring country close to Kazakhstan, there are other places full of different nations, different cultures, different history, and civilization. Especially, the Registan mausoleum in Samarkand, which delves into the depths of history, made a special impression on me. The peculiarity is that Amir Timur, after having this mausoleum built, cut off the master's eyes and hands but gave him gold equal to the weight of a horse's head. Such interesting events and meeting people were a great experience for me. This trip inspired me to go to the USA through the youth travel and student exchange program. Why did I decide to participate in the program? The program opened up great opportunities for me. That is, if I implement it, using these opportunities would be the most effective way for me. What are these opportunities? First of all, it is earning a large sum of money. As we know, the value of money in the USA is significantly higher than in Kazakhstan. Accordingly, we can work in the USA and earn a large sum of money. Saving this money allows us to travel abroad, see beautiful places, bring gifts to our family, friends, and other loved ones, and also spend this money effectively in Kazakhstan. For example, my goal is to buy a car and a house. Since I am a student now, my parents bear all my financial burdens. And a car and a house would improve my situation quite a bit. Yes, although the money from the program is not enough to buy a house completely, it is enough to pay the down payment. The youth travel and international student exchange program gives its participants such great financial opportunities. I used to think of this as a gift. Secondly, b
