Life as a High School Student

The winter break is just about to end, and soon we will be back at school, and real life hits again. It’s with both happiness and sadness I go back. I look very much forward to see my friends and start practice again, but it also means we’re official half way through the exchange year. With school starting there are new things to try out and new things to experience. For example; I’m starting a new sport, Track. It’s kinda similar to Cross Country, which I did from August till November, so I really look forward to start exercise again, and meet new people, since the Track team will have different people.

Being here for half a year now (it feels weird to say), I can easily say what’s have been different about the school, and what have been the same. The hardest or most different part for me has been to have the same schedule every day. Honestly; I prefer to have different classes every day, as I do in my home country, but I still enjoy my time as an High School student and all it’s good part, as the Friday football games. I love or loved them, sadly they’re over now, but I look back at them with a BIG smile. I met new people, had fun with my friends, cheered on my high school’s football team and all the other good parts. Football is one of my favorite sports now, who should have thought that? Before I came, I knew zero things about it, and now I love it, especially to watch it with my host parents in the couch, and I have also been so lucky to go two college football games and one professional.

Before we left school in December, we had a couple of test called Mid Term test. It’s up to the single teacher if he or she will give you at test, but most of them do. I had five out of seven test, they all went pretty smooth, mostly because I don’t have too many hard classes. My favorite class is English IV, and also my hardest. Personally I really like english, where you can write essays and challenge your writing skills. And improve your english talking for that matter.

Only four days of winter break is left, and a part of me wants to be on a break forever, and the other part look very much forward to get started again, start a new sport and to see my friends and classmates again.
