WOTJEK GROUS SHARES HIS EXCHANGE STUDENT EXPERIENCES |
Wotjek spent the school year attending Arlington High School, where he especially enjoyed the anatomy class and playing on the school soccer team. He participated in school activities, including attending the prom with friends.  His host families provided a variety of adventures, including water skiing, a trip to Louisiana for a family wedding, Husky football, Kraken Hockey games, a motocross rally and skiing at Stevens Pass and Snoqualmie Pass. The District 5050 Exchange Students gathered in Canada, Seabeck and flew to California to see Disneyland, try surfing and visit the Los Angeles area landmarks. Wotjek joined Arlington Rotary Club Members assembling holiday baskets at the food bank and gathering food during the annual Santa Run.  He celebrated his 17thbirthday with the club and with his host family and friends. He returns to Poland in June, grateful for his time in Arlington and the many experiences he would not have had otherwise. When asked what he wanted as his first meal when he returns to Poland, he said McDonalds. Some things are universal.
