Schüleraustausch USA – Unsere Schülerin Merle berichtet
Two-Week Student Exchange in the USA
Hi,I’m Merle, and I’m in class 9b. This school year, I spent two weeks of my fall break in the USA – more specifically, in California. And I can say this exchange was worth it!Let’s start at the beginning: In March 2024, Ms. Hettmer told me about the program “USA4you,” which offers scholarships for a two-week trip to America. I applied online and then had to wait. After some time, I received an email inviting me to an interview in Dresden. During the interview, we had to complete various team tasks and answer questions. Two days later, I got the great news: I was accepted! Together with 14 other teenagers from all over Saxony, aged between 15 and 17, I would be flying to the USA.Before we left, there was a preparation seminar where we got to know each other as a group and were prepared for the trip to the USA.
