Adam's Bio

Hi,
my name is Adam Stalhammar and I'm from Sweden. Not many of you might know
about Sweden but you should know that it is a small country in the northern
area of Europe called Scandinavia with a population of 9 million "Swedes". I
decided to become a exchange student because I have always hungered for more
of the world than that I saw in Sweden. My mom was an exchange student and
some of my friends had been overseas so I checked around looking for the
best organization that did exchange years and found Rotary. Rotary is really
great and I feel totally confident going to Longwood, Florida with Rotary.
I live in Longwood and go to Lake Brantley High School and I love it! I meet
new people everyday because it is a very big school. I'll see ya around. |

I
can't believe that more than a month has flown by! It must be because
everyday you get new experiences and meet new people. I recently realized
that time almost goes too fast. My time at Lake Brantley is going great! I
love the school, the people, and I realized that we have to start playing
American football in Sweden because I will miss it. It's not just a sport,
it's a lifestyle and for some people a religion :)
I meet new people everyday and realize something new every day. In the
beginning I was shocked by the strict rules that apply everywhere, like
clothing rules and what you can and can't do but I have adapted. It is
really hot in Florida and even though I shower every morning, I'll be sweaty
when I'm at school, but it's worth it because I love the heat!!!! (I will
probably say something different in the end of the year). I'm having a great
time so far and really love it here :D |
