Hello!
Everything is very great here. I went to my first football, volleyball
and soccer games, to watch them. In fact I was in the volleyball team
at school but after 3 weeks, I had a bad sprain... So I must stop it
for a few weeks. We don't have a lot of football games in Belgium but
it is really nice! I learn the rules (Chris, my host father, and
Riley, my host brother, explain me the rules). Now I understand better
what happens during the game. Here the sport is very important!
Everybody does that!
I had some experience with the hurricane... In the beginning I was a
little bit scared … But in fact, it was not too terrible… It s raining
a lot and we had a lot of wind. For IKE I was more scared because it
was a big big one! We went to Orlando to be in security. We went on an
air board in the night to see alligators. We saw a few. It was the
first time that I saw alligators in freedom. This walk on the air
board was very interesting! When we came back here, everything was ok!
No damage! WHEW!!!!
At school, it s ok too. The teachers are really
great with me. They are always there for me when I have a question, to
repeat something, or to help me. In the beginning, it was a little bit
difficult for the homework because they don’t write everything, and
sometimes I didn’t do it because I didn’t know! Now I ask always what
we must do for the following day. The school is new, it’s really
beautiful!!! Every teacher has his own computer with a projector… And
on the third floor, we have a WONDERFUL ocean’s view! It’s amazing.
With my host family, every thing is ok too!
There are great with me! When I have a question, when I need some
advices, … They are always there for me! A Sunday, in the canal behind
the house, we saw a manatee. I was so excited!!! We give to hem some
water and lettuce, he loved that!
My English is going well. Now I can have a good
discussion with somebody! I often understand what somebody says to me
and every body can no more no less understand me. People say me that I
make a lot of progress to speak. It’s very encouraging for me!
Now I have
some friends, every Thursday I go with them to do a beach volley! J I
like to go on the beach and in the ocean… The water is warm blue and
very clear! Also the beautiful pictures that I saw in Belgium about
the Keys. It’s so beautiful!!!
I had my second rotary weekend with all my district! Everybody was happy to
see everybody! We went to the Everglades... After that we went to an
alligator farm. And the second day, we went on a board to go to Miami.
So great!!! We had a beautiful weather, a lot of sun and a of fun with
the other exchange student!!! We swam in the ocean with a view on
Miami down town... Year! :D I saw for the firts time dolphin in the
ocean! It was a wonderful weekend!
I have already had the home coming. The week
before the homecoming dance was crazy! Every day, they were one theme
and a lot a people were disguised. It was so funny. We had the parade
too so every grade of the high school does float. The senior float was
over movies, Hollywood, … I don’t saw the parade I was IN parade. We
throw candies to people. I had a lot of fun but it was so hot!!! After
the homecoming week, there the homecomings dance… Ricardo invites me
and we went together to the dance. When I came into the dance room it
was also in the American’s movies! The same! It was amazing! A lot of
decoration… Wonderful! It’s was a good party but very different of
Belgium’s party.
Thursday, October 14th, it was the
Ashley’s birthday. She was 18 also me. She is really great! She went
last year also rotary exchange student in Germany. I met her friends.
I like a lot to be with them because they are open minded, smiling,
warm and nice!
