My first Trimester as a Foreign Exchange Student by Daniela Nkurunziza
My classes this trimester were English 11 B by Mr. Shaw , Algebra 1 A online, Video production by Ms. Baumann, Biology A by Mr. Smit, and Journalism by Ms. Lewis.
The first week in Saugatuck High school I really enjoyed going to a new school to have a new type of school life. School in Germany is completely different. I really like these classes I had this trimester.
Let us begin with English 11 B with Mr. Shaw. I really liked his class. It is completely different compared to Germany. This class gives many opportunities to really learn something new. I did not expect before I came here that an English class would look like this. My thought was that we are doing grammar and vocabulary and stuff like I did in Germany.
My second class is Algebra 1A and I can tell you right now I am not really smart at math in general, but I can say that it is not as hard as I thought it would be. It is pretty easy to take the online class. It is always quiet and you have your own speed to do your stuff. I really like that class because I can also talk to my friends in this class and we are helping each other too. That is kinda nice.
My third hour, Video Production by Mrs. Baumann, is one of my favorite classes this trimester. It is so much fun to have a class like that where you are basically filming and have a good time with friends. It is so fun! I can recommend this class for sure. In Germany we do not have classes like this. So it is pretty cool that I can take a class like this as an exchange student here at Saugatuck High school.
Fourth hour is Biology A. I do really like Mr. Smit’s class, how he is teaching, and what we are doing in his class. Biology in Germany is way different than what we are doing. I never had this stuff that we are studying right now, so in the beginning I was a little bit struggling with English, but now it is fine. But I am glad that the trimester is almost over.
Last but not least, fifth hour I have journalism. I love that class. It is always fun to be there. I love what we are doing in this class and the mood there. The people are so nice and I really do like how we create the yearbook, write articles, listen to podcasts, or read news to be informed.
I really had fun this trimester and I am already looking forward to seeing what is happening in the next Trimester !
