End of one chapter, London, ON. 29/Sep/24 Part One, As everything that begins has an end, September represents the conclusion of a stage in my life that started on September 2015, as when I first started this journey troughout Canada. In order to survive on a daily bases, and also re-adapt to this challenging culture I had to reinvent myself over, and over again. Still continue to do so till this day. Fitting myself within a new context and a new Culture has been very challenging at times, but also a very rewarding and satisfactory experience. I had to say that a feeling of alienation was natural to this experience particularly at the very begging. This feeling is in itself not particularly pleasant, and one of the most difficult ones when embraced in reality. The very nature of this feeling is a sense of division and of fuzziness in regard to our true nature. But contrary to that unpleasant feeling, when I got a chance of embracing that feeling I notice that based on the present conditions at that moment the information that that feeling was trying to converge was for me of the utmost importance. With this information in mind I started to contemplate alternative avenues that would be more rewarding in the long run and that were more true to my own nature. In this path of learning, I encounter myself surrounded by different groups of people at different times. Some of the people where all the time competing one against each other, others where totally indifferent, there where others of the genuinely caring type, so on and so forth. By considering carefully the first class of people, which is a mindset particularly encouraged in the world, I was convinced that in that dynamic I would only provide more fuel to strengthen that sense of division, that I was trying to alleviate. Apart from this in must of the daily activities, I encounter myself surrounded by people of the second type, which were those that were completely indifferent. Those types of situations that I was encountering on a daily basis, were just events without further consequences, or as a one good peer just says: if people happen to be there, they were just there. To be continued…

Let’s Work Together! A last-minute reminder to all our friends and colleagues who will be attending WYSTC - The World Youth & Student Travel Conference in Lisbon in less than two weeks. The J1X team (Christina Hamilton and I) will be there, and we would love to connect with you! If you recruit and place J-1 interns, trainees, and teachers, if you are looking for a long-term partnership, and, most importantly, if you share our passion for and dedication to delivering a life-changing experience to exchange visitors – we will be delighted to work with you! “I already have a sponsor, and all J-1 sponsors are the same.” Is that so? Not quite. While all sponsors deliver essentially the same “product” – DS-2019 – and support exchange visitors and hosts to the best of their understanding of the regulation, the real difference between sponsors shows in several simple yet important things: -         Is your sponsor a consistent and reliable partner? -         How efficient and fast your sponsor’s process is? -         How often does your sponsor delegate compliance and support tasks to you? -         Does your sponsor often go above and beyond the letter of the regulation to make your experience and that of your exchange visitors as easy and pleasant as possible? -         How careful is your sponsor about upholding program compliance and providing screening, monitoring, and support that set your programs for success? Different approaches to these fundamentals of partner relationships directly affect how much resources and staff effort you will end up spending on running your programs. We at J1X believe in building lasting relationships with our partners. Come talk to us in Lisbon!
