My first days in America were full of fun.
I spent a lot of time with my host family as we traveled together and they showed me some places in Tomball, Texas where I am staying for my exchange year.
The heat in Texas was horrible for me at the beginning but after few days I got used to it.
I’ve been waiting for my school to start in September and I can already say that I’m a member of Klein Oak high school or home of the PANTHERS!!!
I’m very excited about next days at school and experiences I will be able to experience in Texas.
