Hi. I have the chance to be a foreign exchange student to Germany this coming school year (my senior year). I am so excited-this means the world to me. An interviewer is coming to my house in the next week---I am obviously so nervous about this. Does anyone have any tips in how to make this a smooth, successful event?
You should relax when the interviewer is there. Don't answer so nervously. Be calm and have fun. You should have a great time. Try to act like you are happy and proud of what you have done. Remember act calm.

I think you should try to study a lot. You might get a bettter grade. Try to find a nice and quiet place and study for a long time till you get it. Don't stress yourself out. It will not do good for you. Try to do your best. Then have somebody quiz you on what you have studied. I am just saying try your best! You will probably pull up your grade.
Lately, I've been having a lot of "what if I can't do it?" moments.
I recently got the lead in our school musical, and it was my first time auditioning for this school's performance (I transferred in as a sophomore, and I'm a senior.)
I feel like I'm letting everyone down because I'm having trouble getting the dances. I'm a singer - like, majorly. I sing opera, that's what I'm going into - and I can act rather well, I think. But I don't dance. I can jazz dance and ballet, but not musical theater. It's just not working, lol.
I also have a lot going on. I have a couple scholarship auditions coming up, another performance, and that, and I'm in the middle of two competitions, all vocal. I always worry that I'm letting the cast down because I don't think I'm that good. I can't get rid of any of my obligations. As it is, I never see my boyfriend. I have a date tonight at like 9, after work, and this is the first time I've seen him out of school in the past 3 weeks or so. Any ideas as to how to fix my confidence issue and/or the stress problem?
I think you should try. If you can't do it than just try to have fun. If you really hate it than quit. I don't think you should quit. Try to enjoy yourself. But if you have a lot of other things going on than you have to make up the decision to stay or go. Maybe try to find some spare time to practice or take lessons. I don't think you should quit because than your letting your school and yourself down. Wish you good luck.
