Mikael is a 16 year old from Sweden. His parents are Polish and he would prefer to say he is Polish rather than Swedish. Mikael said he was inspired to come to America because he wanted to learn the language. He first learned of this exchange program two years ago. It was then that his cousin came to the United States with this particular program. Mikael says that he feels really good about his host family. He is living with the Stachowiak’s. He says the best part about being here in America is the school, the people, and going 4-wheeler riding. His favorite thing to do is go out with his friends. While I was interviewing Mikael, he started to tell me about the differences in America and Sweden. There are, of course, many different aspects of life in his country, but Mikael really hit on the language being different, as well as, the food. He was particularly interested in the amount of fast food we have and different types of food. Mikeal said, “Potato chips and nachos are strictly for a snack and they would never be eaten with any of our meals.” Another aspect that is different for Mikael is school. He said, “School here in America, is three times easier than school in Sweden.” He also said that you don’t have to carry the planners at his school, and that was very different for him. They start school at 8 o’clock in the morning and they finish at 5 o’clock. Mikael also told me that it is not required to go to school. They can just go when they have a test. If they receive a good grade on their test, they receive a good grade for the class. Mikael’s school does not have any activities or sports. However, they do have soccer, hockey and basketball in Sweden. Mikael described soccer to me as “football.” Mikeal was in the United States for the recent attack on America. He stated, “I found it very scary.” He also said that it scared him when the flights were suspended, because if for some reason he needed to get back to Sweden there would be no way to get there. However, Mikael thinks the chaos in our country will stop soon. Foreign Exchange Student Mikael Olszowy
