Different Doesn't Mean Wrong
Many things have been different here in the U.S since I came, but especially the school. Some things have been hard to adjust, and then there's other things I love about the school here. I know that every school system is very different from each country, but a thing I know a lot of countries don't have, is the sport and the school conected. That's a thing I love here. It's a school spirit on a whole new level, since the school is one team, and a team support each other. The Friday-games is one of my favortie sport events. Usually there's a theme for the days game, so everyone dress up, and are ready to cheer later on the day. The games is also a good oppotunity to meet new people, and talk with the ones you don't get to talk. with during school. The Friday-games is the place where you hang out with your friends, friends you don't know and get to be a part of a school. A thing that has been hard to adjust is not having one class, but seven. Back in Denmark, I've only had one class my whole life, from I was six years old till this summer, which means it has been ten years with the same people. Here, as you may know, you have a different class for each subject, and for that reason you don't have a lot time with the single classes, as you only have about one hour together. On the other hand, you get to know a lot of different people, and that way can increase the amount of friendships. The school here is filled with options to socialise and try new things. There's numerous sports to do, clubs to be a member of, games to watch and ofcourse; the life of a real american high school student. I love every moment I get to experience and to learn another way of living. The world is so much more than your home country, and that's a thing we often forget. Go live and learn.
