A
(2022·武汉高中毕业生调研考试)No high school exchange student chooses the small town in the Midwest over California or New York City,but Ole has enjoyed and learned to the point that I don't think he regrets it anyway.It has been a good adventure for us and I think for him too.
Ole's stay was inspiring,entertaining,and fun.We enjoyed his time here and have learned almost as much as he has,I'm sure.He is a very wellrounded kid with many experiences,has a very good understanding of America,and speaks English very well.He and we,now take many of the things he initially was amazed by for granted.It has been fun watching him experience a lot of these.
He got to experience playing soccer for his school.We went to many games and he was fortunate enough to have a coach and a team that were kind enough to a new kid and gave him much playing time.Since he has had no school sports before,the whole concept of having your classmates cheer you on at regional competitions and having fans watch the games,let alone having the competition on TV,was a huge thing for him.The team also gave him a bunch of immediate friends and acquaintances.He liked being able to go to the high school basketball and football games too.He also got to go several of the school dances,a thing he doesn't do in his hometown.
We do feel fortunate to have had a kid who made an effort to get out and meet people,ask for rides,but was careful about who he hung out with.Our three kids did not meet any high school exchange students that were as well known in the school or as well liked and accepted as Ole had been.
We do expect that this hosting experience is the start of a lifelong relationship.
