Przemek's Bio

Hi! My name is Przemek I am 16 years old and I am from Poland. I live in middle-big city Gorzow Wielkopolski, which is on the west part of Poland. I have one older sister (she's 25). My home city is very beautiful. We have very long and interesting history. I was attending to the sport middle school, because my life passion is swimming. I do it since I was 7, (that's why first thing when i came here was joining to the high school swim team)

December 24

I am attending here to "Bart Trail High School". High school here is very different, than in Poland. Here you can pick your classes at the beginning of the year. In my country you take the same classes throughout the period of high school (sounds pretty boring). My school day starts here at 9.15 am, and finish at 3.45 pm. Usually i have a swim practice before the school and after. Swimming is a big part of my life here. People in school are very kind. It's not difficult to make friends in USA if you are open for a new friendships. One of the most amazing thing in Bartram was taking a part in Homecoming Court. It was big shock for me when i heard my name in a speaker, because i didn't even know, that i am on the list. It turned out that my host sister added me. It was very nice experience to feel like a "celebrity" for a few hours.

My first host family was amazing. We did together many fantastic things like ski jetting, or driving a yacht. I had tree host sister ( the oldest one is in Brazil on rotary exchange right now). In general I'm very appreciate, that i was able to spend 3 amazing months of my exchange with them.
