¡Hola! My name is Johanne and I’m 16 years old but I will be 17 on June 24th. I live with my parents, my younger sister Stine who is 14 and my younger brother Thomas who is almost 11, in a flat just outside the centre of Copenhagen.
I’m in my first year of the Danish gymnasium which is the same as the American high school or the English upper secondary school. The name of the school is Rysensteen Gymnasium and it is a very political school.
A normal school day for me starts with getting up at about half past six. My parents are always trying for all of us to have breakfast at the same time but it’s a little difficult when me and my siblings all have to get to school on time. So my home is a little chaotic in the morning. I always ride my bike to school like many other students. In Denmark a lot of people ride their bike to school or work - my parents do too. Last year I had a visit from a Lithuanian girl and she was so fascinated by all the bikes that she took about a hundred pictures of them!
We normally have four classes a day. The school day starts at 8:15 and ends at 15:25. We eat lunch at 11:30 but we don’t have a canteen at our school so many students bring lunch from home.
After school it’s not unusual in Denmark that young people play some kind of sports a couple of times a week. I used to play football (European football soccer - not American) but I quit last year because I injured my ankle.
I’m really looking forward to when you Argentineans come to Denmark and we will show you guys over school, over homes and the Danish culture.
