My First American Halloween

My First American Halloween

Tue Nov 05 2024

I think one of the more American things is Halloween. I was very excited to celebrate this holiday. It lived up to even my wildest expectations. In Poland, this holiday is also celebrated, how varies depending on the region or family you come from. But it is certainly not celebrated as pompously as in the United States.

Pumpkin painting picnic

A few days before Halloween, I got together with my friends to cut and paint pumpkins. We went to Walmart to buy pumpkins, cutting tools, paints, brushes, and all the necessary accessories. We arrived at the park, laid out blankets, and started our fun. We all came back dirty from the paint and the pumpkins. After everything was done, I brought the pumpkins home and lit a candle inside to get that spooky vibe.

Shopping

From what I heard, a lot of people dress up during this holiday. I had absolutely no idea for my costume. One of my friends suggested that we could go to a store called Spirit Halloween. I was surprised – this store only has things related to this single holiday. I was a little lat,e so a lot of things were sold out, but I found the wings and horns of a devil so I decided that would be my costume.

Trick or treat

On Halloween, after school, I was invited to one of my friends' house to give candy to children who were walking around the neighborhood in costumes. At first, we put up all the spooky decorations and at the end, we took out the candy. After a while, there were a lot of children in all kinds of costumes. Even some of the dogs were dressed up! How some of the costumes were handmade and looked so professional, surprised me very positively. After a while, we decided that we would walk around the neighborhood so that I could see the beautifully decorated houses. It all made a very big impression on me.

Birthday

During that week I had one more important event waiting for me; my friend's birthday. The whole party took place outside and their garden was beautifully decorated. There were quite a few people, all her friends and family came. We played various games together, danced, and had delicious food.

FAQ

Vis alt
  • Kan jeg delta i idrett i løpet av high school-året?

    Selvfølgelig, så lenge det er greit for skolen og klubben du eventuelt vil bli medlem av. I USA har ikke vi som organisasjon lov til å være en del av "sportsrekruttering". Skolen kan ha retningslinjer om at visse lag ikke er åpne for utvekslingselever, men dette er enkelt å sjekke ved ankomst. Med STS High School Select har du en større sjanse til å velge skoler ut fra spesifikke sportsprofiler.

  • Hva slags skole kommer jeg til å gå på?

    I de fleste land vil du gå på en offentlig skole. I vårt High School Select-program tilbyr vi også privatskoler som et alternativ. Forskjellen mellom offentlige og private skoler varierer fra land til land.

  • Har STS en kontaktperson på stedet mitt?

    Ja, uansett hvor du reiser, har vi en lokal representant på stedet. Han eller hun velger ut vertsfamilier, har kontakt med skolene og vil være en du kan lene deg på og spørre om råd under utvekslingsåret.

  • Jeg er klar til å søke, hvordan gjør jeg det?

    Den enkleste måten å søke på, er å gå til siden for favorittdestinasjonen din og klikke på Søk nå-knappen. Du vil da motta mer informasjon om hvordan du kan bestille et personlig intervju med oss. Søknaden er ikke bindende, og du tar et endelig valg først når du har blitt godkjent av oss.
