One year ago I had opportunity to go to America for exchange Student. I can’t believe that I able to be exchange student because my English was not that good. But anyway I have a good time in America and get lot of experience back. I did the new things that I didn’t do it in Thailand before. I have seen the school system of America and know more about American people.
The day that I go to America is 8th August 2006. I remember that I was very exciting when I wait for my friends at airport. I’m sitting near my mom and brother. And about 4.00am my friends and I got in to the plane. The plane took off about 3o minutes later and I was thinking about America all the time when I was in the plane. First time when I go there, my friends and I had to go to camp. This camp had exchange student all over the world that came from my organization. This camp was very good. There have many activities to teach us about America. I know how to live in America and make a lot of friends from this camp. After camp I had to go to my state. I planed from New York, where the camp was to Chicago and from Chicago Wisconsin.
I lived in the small town in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. My town name Howard Grove. There have only 2000 people in Howard Groves. I stay there with my Host Family. My host dad names Wade. My host mom name is Bobbie. I also had 2 brothers’ names Eddy and Taylor. I think I’m very lucky that I had a good host family. They always help me everything and they’re very kind. I feel like we are real family.
My school life there was good. My school has only 340 people. So I almost know all the people in the school. My Thai name is very long. So my friends and Teacher in America called me “ Jo Thailand”. School system in America is not the same at school system in Thailand. The different are my school in America. I had to switch the class all the time. My school had only 4 classes per day and they had 2 terms same as school in Thailand. First term I choose Health, English, Chemistry and Geometry. I also join in school band and school American Football team. I played cymbal and snare drum in the band. It was very fun in band. Teacher was very kind and attentive to students. After school I had to practiced American Football. First time it’s very hard to play and I had very hard practiced. I always got hit from somebody. I played in the position call “Taker”. My job was to sack or hit the Quarterback of another team before Quarterback sends the ball to Wire Receiver. And I also join School Tennis team too.
In America I did lots of thing that never do in Thailand. I had to live in snow for 3 months. I did played snowboard and broken my wrist after that. I know more about cultures in America like Christmas Day, Halloween Day and Thanksgiving Day. I have lot of experience during 10 months in America and these 10 months I will not forget it forever.
