Johan Johan during a very successful days fishing.

My name is Johan, I am 17 years old and I am coming from Hamburg. In 2016 my parents visited a presentation by Jim Tomlinson in the Luisen Gymnasium which is the school of my little brother. After they told me what Embrace England is and what they offer I wanted to do the language camp which they are doing in the summer holidays.

So 2017 I went for my first time to York. It was fantastic, which was mainly caused by the city itself and the great organisation of the staff. Before I was going to the Summer Camp I was thinking about doing the year at Huntington School. After the Summer Camp my concerns were eradicated and I applied for the long term stay at Huntington School.

Today I have already finished school in Germany with my Abitur and I am now studying at Huntington School. I started my adventure on the 1st of September: New school, other language, and the heaviest impact, new family. My host family is great and it is a lot of fun staying with them (Although it is not the real one).

By now 3 months later I can say it was a great decision to apply for the year against my concerns. I am now playing hockey in the City of York hockey club, I am playing Violin in the York Youth Orchestra and I am member in one of the many tennis clubs here in York.

I am very happy that I have done the decision to apply here (doing the Summer Camp and the long term stay) and I would recommend it to everyone else!
