              Indefinite - Refering to a more general object ("an" apple)

Speaking is essential to this exchange. If I don't talk, I will never be able to succesfully assimilate into the culture. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and be willing to give and take information that is very tedious and many times stressfull. One of the things that the Rotary has asked us exchange students to do in order to prepare for the exchange year is talk to strangers. This breaks the GOLDEN RULE that all parents tell us to do since we were very little. But, when you are an exchange student, at first EVERYBODY is a stranger! You have never seen anyone there in person most likely, and what makes it worse is that at most times you will bearly be able to understand them. So that is why they ask us to speak with strangers, as we have to be ready for it when we go on exchange.
Today I had a random experience with talking with a stranger. I was just sitting on my couch, minding my own business when I get a text message from an unfamiliar number. It was a girl who thought she was one of my friends, turns out she had the wrong number. I politely told her that I couldn't be the person she wanted to speak to and that I am sorry about the confusion. Well she apoligized right back and said that she usually is treated rudely by people when she has the wrong number. I'm glad I made a good impression, as rude is not usually in my nature. I also mentioned that the reason I am so chatty was that I was going overseas (she thought I ment the military lol). I was safe in the whole instance of talking with her as I did not reveal serious information that could give away my identity (for safety purposes only). But the point I am trying to make is that if you are calm and polite when talking with new faces, you will most ALWAYS make a new friend! And if I were to take my experiences here and apply them to my trip, I think I should not have a problem making friends! Peace out yo!
