German student Wienecke
right at home in Altamont
BY NATHAN SCHOLES
For foreign exchange
student Lorenzo Wienecke,
his fascination with America
and desire to see something
new has taken him from
a small village in central
Germany to a small German
village in central Illinois.
The high school senior has
spent the past four months
in Altamont with Chris and
Annette Altman as hosts.
Wienecke, a native of
Hedmuenden, near Frankfurt, spent a year writing
essays, filing paperwork, and
completing administrative
tasks before he could make
his voyage to the States. It is
a voyage he is glad he made.
“I didn’t have culture
shock. I felt at home from
the beginning. And to have
people really care about you,
it’s amazing,” he stated.
The only difficulty came
as he celebrated his 18th
birthday state-side.
“It was a little sad because
18 is like turning 21 here, but
I enjoyed it,” he said.
While here, he has reveled
in the school spirit exhibited
at Altamont.
“You are proud of your
school. The sports teams, the
band, the students really get
involved,” he stated, adding that he is participating
in student council, scholastic
bowl, and is planning to play
baseball in the spring.
Wienecke has visited St.
Louis and Indianapolis, and
has plans to tour Chicago,
but a trip to the State Capi-
Interested candidates must file now

candidates who wish to
take part in the April 7, 2015

15–22.
This election includes
all municipalities, school
boards, park districts, library
districts and fire districts that

tol in Springfield has held
special meaning for him. He
was able to spend an afternoon with state legislators.
Politics is a career field that
intrigues him.
“Back in Germany, I was
involved in politics. I enjoy
debate.”
After he returns to his native country, Wienecke must
complete his senior year
again for his German high
school diploma before he
may attend university. He aspires to become an attorney,
focusing on business and
financial law. He may even
return to America someday,
though whether that will be
as part of his college educa-
tion or later in life is still up
in the air.
“I started liking the
United States, I will come
back,” he stated, adding that
the transferability of college
credit from one country to
the other would have an
impact on his plan.
Wienecke also added that
he understands the opportunity he has an ambassador
for his country to his peersin
Altamont.
“I hope they have a good
time as a friend. I hope they
can learn from me, and I
from them.”
Wienecke is set to return
to Hedmuenden in June.
