This edition of eJournal USA, "World Youth Building a Future," opens a window on the real life experiences of young people who have left home and family to participate in an international exchange program. Young American adults offer first-person accounts of their discoveries in educational programs abroad, and exchange students from various other countries share their insights about adjusting to life and family customs in the United States.

Lili is one of many young people who helped us write this issue of eJournal USA. She, and others like her from many different nations, have shared their stories about international youth exchanges, learning about other cultures, languages, and ways of life. They have spoken from the heart about their fears, their successes, their joys, and their lessons.
