Europaschule Bornheim goes USA

This day is out of My and Marc’s perspective.

For breakfast I went to Waffle House with my exchange student and ordered a very unhealthy, but amazing meal. In the afternoon I went to the cinema where we watched the new „THOR“ movie and enjoyed our popcorn.

Marc started his day by helping his exchange student who organized a football game for younger kids. Later they decided to go to  Six Flags, an amusement park, and spent time there riding roller coasters.

After the individual weekend in our host families, we arrived at the Walker School at 7:30.  In Mr. Morgan’s class we had breakfast from Chick-fil-a.   The chicken biscuit was different to our food in Germany but it was very delicious. Afterwards some American students gave us a tour through the school. We spent the next class  with Mr. Petersen. In his art class we tried to paint realistic leaves just with watercolors. He showed us a video of an artist known for his work for Disney who explained us step by step how to draw the leaves. Later we had our break where we ate lunch in the school cafeteria. In the cafeteria there were different types of food like a salad and sandwich bar and pizza.  After lunch our exchange students took us to their different classes . We spent the last class with Mrs. Walker and learned about American music history.

In the evening we went as a big American German group to the NBA game of Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics at 7:30pm. We all had a good overview over the game. The whole game was very exciting because the score of the two teams was almost the same. But at the end the Boston Celtics won. The best player in the game of Atlanta Hawks was Dennis Schroeder and the best player in the Boston Celtics team was Kyrie Irving. The whole day was very exciting because we saw the school for the first time and the game in the evening was a good start to a wonderful exchange.

Sixflags

On Saturday, November 11th we visited the theme park Six Flags with our host family. In the morning we had breakfast with the whole family because the grandparents were there for the weekend. At 2 pm we drove to Six Flags. When we saw the  roller coasters we were a bit nervous because they looked so dangerous. When we got on the first roller coaster, we were shocked because  you could not sit inside the roller coaster, you had to stand! It was very exciting. Often the lines for the roller coasters were very long but we had so much fun and that’s why we didn’t realize how long we had to stand in line . The most special roller coaster was called superman, because you lay inside the roller coaster like superman. I felt like  I was flying. Later we went to ihop. We all ate breakfast for dinner like pancakes, eggs and bacon. That was yummy.

We spent the day in our families. But in the evening we had a party, it started at Asher Lauder’s house at 5pm . After everybody arrived there, we ate pizza and talked a lot.  We felt very welcome. Later Yannick and Klaus decided to jump into the pool. It was very cold. We left at 7pm.
