Becoming an exchange student is an excellent experience to have a chance to study in a different country or city.

My high school classmate Katherine is studying at the University of Calgary, and she is studying a “Teacher” programme because she wants to become a Math teacher. In this part, she tells the story of when she goes to Germany, Hamburg. Also, she talked about before, she wanted to go to Japan to do the exchange program, but they cancelled because is covid at that time. 

She told me that when she chooses this program, she will have an excellent opportunity to go to other countries to study, and she can learn some different skills for becoming a teacher. In the future, she wants to teach high school students in Canada or another country.

She talks about which school she will stay in in Hamburg and how to study also has a chance to see how education works in Germany. And she stays in “Hamburg University.” in that school and has a different grade, starting from grade 1- 12 or university.

She talks about street art in Hamburg. She talks about one artist who draws on a wall in that community. They think that artist is disrespectful. Also, she shares the background of that artist. This artist has a lot of experience, but what he did for the other artist he kept against the rule in that community, so in that community, people didn’t like him.

Before, she talked about when she went to the deaf Musume, and she had a chance to do some fun activities.

She told me this was the vacation more than study, and I learned a lot from her story. Still, I want to do an exchange student because I can have an opportunity to study in different countries. I can meet some other students whom other countries and become friends.
