Henning is the Rotary Youth Exchange student our club hosted from July 2016 - June 2017. He keeps in touch with his NZ host families by messaging to a special group set up on Facebook. He reports...I'm good. On 1st August I started my [carpentry] apprenticeship. I will finish my trial period of three months [at the end of October]. I just passed 5 weeks of my apprenticeship, from those week’s I spent 2 in the company and 3 in the school. School is really relaxing, because we are only 6 people in the class. During school weeks I just can sleep one hour longer. But I have to do the next 4 weeks work in my company. To get to my company and school I have to take every morning the train for about 20-35 min, which is different from what I am used to. Here is a photograph of me in my special apprentice uniform. I get a special hat when I finish [after three years]. Click read more to see photo...
I also started with my theory driver licence lessons and have done the theory exam. At the same time I can start with the [practical] driver lessons! But I think this will take until February next year to get my license. Coming up to the Winter holidays I am pretty busy planning a Scout Camp and trip with my Scout group to Solvenia for next summer.
