My life always
feels so empty when I have to fit it into a few paragraphs, but I will give it
a good try. Hi everyone! Hej allihopa!
My name is
Marcus Andersson and I came to Fredonia last fall from Örnsköldsvik (good luck
pronouncing that) in Sweden. I came here to play on the hockey team, to study
journalism, and to get an experience of studying abroad. After one semester
here, I know that it was a good decision to come to the States and I hope that
my college experience is something I’ll always bring with me. I love to travel
and meet new people, so I hope to become friends with all of you.
I have had
some good reads that influenced me when growing up. I can recommend you to read
“Öga mot öga med Zäta” or maybe “Kinesen” by Henning Mankell. No, but in all
honesty, I’ve been reading a lot of books in Swedish when growing up but not
too many books written in English, so this class will be a great experience for me.
In addition
to that, when growing up, my grandpa always told me stories about his travels around
the world, and I think these stories influence me more than I first imagined.
Today, I study journalism in a foreign country and I write for a Swedish hockey
magazine; I search for good stories wherever I am. Now, I’m here to create my
own life story, and let’s help each other out to make all of our life stories interesting
to listen to when we grow old! See you in class!
