Study the Japenese language, go to the bookstore and look up books on travel to Japan.

I'm glad you are interested in studying abroad in Japan! Everyone I know who has come back from Japan absolutely LOVES it there. Becoming a foreign exchange student can take some time, especially when it comes to finding the right program that fits your needs and interests. I am a program advisor for AYUSA Global Youth Exchange, and we provide a lot different academic and summer programs for our US and Canadaian and US high school students at a competitive price. Below are some of our requirements to becoming a high school foreign exchange student (other companies have similar requirements): 1) be a high school student 2) 15-18 years old (you absolutely cannot turn 19 while on program in Japan! Japan is really strict) 3) 2.5 GPA (exceptions considered on a case-by-cae basis) 4) 1 year of Japanese 5) Sound and stable mental and physical health 6) Responsible, mature, adaptable, resilient, and excited about cutural exchange! 7) Have parent and school support As you think about studying abroad, make sure you talk to your parents and high school counselor about your plans and how you can fit studying abroad into your high school graduation!

How can I find a family in Mexico to stay with for the summer?
I would be willing to pay for room and board. I am looking to create a kind of foreign exchange student situation for myself. Any ideas on how to approach finding a host family? (I'd prefer to cut out any middle men--a placement agency, etc.--to save money)

A website that I find very useful is www.itasoftware.com. Click on search air fares and then log in as a guest. It is not a site to book flights, but is searches multiple airlines at once. It will let you know which airlines have the lowest fares. If you see something you are interested in, write down the flight details and you can book it direclty through the specific airline.
2 :
try cheapoair, kayak.com or shermanstravel.com

The best place to look for this type of discounts is SearchAllDeals. Just start with a search term like "college student discount airfare".

What school in New Mexico offers a good pharmacy program?
I heard about a school down there that will bring you down if you have a 3.5 gpa or above, and offer in-state tuition to an out of state student and has a pharmacy program or something of the likes... What's it called?

U of New Mexico offers a pharmacy program. Do you mean WICHE? If your state doesn't have a pharmacy school and you get into another WICHE state school, you qualify for in-state tuition.

What is a reasonable rate for teaching ESL to parents at a private school in Mexico?
What is a reasonable rate for teaching ESL to parents at a private school in Mexico?
I have been asked to submit a proposal for teaching ESL to the parents of the kids that attend a private school in Mexico. Is it appropriate to propose that I get paid according to how many students I have or per class per hour? I am a first time teacher of ESL and not familiar with how this works.

In Mexico usually teachers in private schools are paid per hour....
2 :
People don't usually base their pay according to number of students unless you're tutoring one-on-one. I got paid $15/hour in the US. Not sure if that's possible in Mexico, but you can always ask for $10-15/hour.
3 :
Hi. First it is EFL, not ESL for Mexico. Secondly, are you getting paid by your students or by an institute? If you are getting paid by the students, decide what you want for an hour rate and divide that by the number of students in your class times how many class periods you have. But remember for each 1 hour of class time it usually takes 1 hour of out of class time for prep and admin work associated with the class, so remember that when you are making up your own costs. To this you should add the cost of transportation and materials, I predict 20% of my hourly rate will go into materials. So here is a quick calculation. If you want 20 USD an hour and have 4 students in your class, for 12 sessions and it costs you 2 USD for transport ion each way.: 20 (hourly rate wanted) x 2(for teaching and prep time) + 4 (for materials per class) + 4 (for transportation x 12 (number of sessions) you get 576 USD. Now divide this by 4 (the number of students) and you get 144 USD. Round it up to 149 USD and that is the cost per student for all the classes. http://fundingtravel.com

Fernando, Unfortunately, there are several things working against you... First, student visas are for foreigners who want to study in the US. You need to apply first at a school who then accepts you. Normally you have to be 18 to do this, and it is normally for college level education. Secondly, under the law you cannot change your status while you are inside the US. So, in your case, since you are illegal, you cannot change to another visa while staying in the US and all of a sudden "become legal". Unlike some other posters I'm not going to judge you or you family for coming the to US, illegally or not. However those are the rules. Good luck.
