Why did I choose this topic?
- Personal reasons
After the summer I am going to USA as an exchange student. I think it is very exciting to go to a country far away, because not only the Americans, but also people all over the world have a different culture and a different way of living.
Being an exchange student
- What does it mean?
Every year many students from all over the world choose to study abroad. In the United States and in several others countries, students choose to stay for a year or a semester. It is not a holiday, the student must go to school and study or else the student will be sent home.
During the stay the students will find out who they are, and what their limits are. They may change their views as well, and have new opinions about themself and their life. They will still be the same but with another understanding of where they come from and who they are becoming.
- The host family
Every exchange student is staying at a host family. The student is NOT a houseguest. The host family is in a way their new family, and they are the student’s new host- sister, brother, mother or father.
The host parents have the responsibility for their student. Like their own parents, they make certain that they are okay. They are worried like any other parents, if something happens.
They are the heart of the year. The student is going to be a part of their life, be a part of the community and a part in the culture. The host family is going to help them through the changes they will face.
But the family doesn’t take the student to their home because they have to. They want to have them there, and they are just as interested and want to know the student, as the student is interested in getting to know the host family and their way of living.
- Challenges
A big challenge is the language. If you are used to speak for example Danish your whole life, it is a challenge to speak a new language. I am going to USA so it will not be difficult for me,
