Oscar Felfel with Samantha Chizek after a football game. For many years, Audubon has had foreign exchange students, and this year Oscar Felfel is one of them. Felfel came from Vallensbaek, Sjaelland, Denmark all the way to Audubon, Iowa. Felfel says so far, “I like it [Audubon] a lot. It’s a nice little town with a lot of nice people. A nice community, all in all.”
Felfel was a member of the football team with the position of kicker. In Denmark, Felfel played soccer and wishes this year to join the track team. Felfel said, “[soccer] is my favorite sport, but I also enjoyed the football season a lot!”
Felfel wants to come back after graduation to visit his host family and catch up with some old friends. Felfel remarks, “I think I have some pretty good friends here. Of course I’m not talking to everybody, but I think I have made some good friends.” Felfel enjoys time with his host parents, Brad & Christena Hemmingsen, and sibling Shawn. He says he has more “family time” here than back home, but he says he likes it and how close they are as a family. “Things are a lot different, but similar,” said Felfel. In Denmark the schooling system is harder, but the language switch here is fairly hard. His favorite classes are Economy, American History, and Sports and Fit. Felfel hopes for the rest of the year to be as good as this beginning.
