American Graduates from Danish Gymnasium!!

The most Dad thing in this video, We also have water :D

[@TravelinYoung]

Ha yeah, while I was editing and watching over and over I realized I was very much being a dad :).

[@johnclements6614]

At that age they have not realised that if they pace themselves they can drink for longer before they have to stop.

[@johnphdk]

With water, he meant American Beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Joliie]

@@johnclements6614 how did we learn :) not by Dad telling us... But by dad laughing at us the day after and offering water.

@@TravelinYoung When you got a job to do, you got to do it well. It was probably high time for all these fine Students to get some food mixed with all that alcohol...You did great sir 👍 🇸🇪

[@IconicDavexD]

Congratulations Maya :D 7:08 For anyone wondering, the guy screaming is telling everyone to finish eating, go to the toilet if needed and get back to the truck as the truck is prepaid for x amount of time driving to each students homes to celebrate with their family, but if they take too long at one house, the time for the route would exceed the prepaid time and they all have to pay extra for the extra time spend, hints the reason for someone managing the time table as almost everyone is too drunk to keep the time :'D

[@vrenak]

The driver has a set amount of time he can be driving, there is also breaks he has to have, which he of course has where they schedule a bit longer stop.

[@error_404_yes]

i have driven with students before they pay us for like a day of driving witch is like 9 hours in total 4:30 hours of driving then a 45 min mandatory break and then another 4:30 hours of driving and then if need be the driver can bump it up one hour more after another 45 min break if need be ( this can only be done twice a week) and we where told to set aside 30 min per house but with the company i worked for the graduating class paid the amount we asked and then we drove them so we weren't paid based on time (this was only the company i worked for some other companies might do it differently) just noticed the !amok labled truck at 4:51 (the company i worked for) fun to see one of the trucks i drove (they are treatable to drive in the clutch is horriable)

[@krestenfm]

Kæmpe stort tillykke Maya! This is also honestly one of the best representations of the Danish student experience I've ever seen on KZbin

[@TravelinYoung]

Thanks! That is also why I decided to keep the entire section where they were at our house. So many random chaotic things going on that help represent what it is really like :).

[@Frost-mv4pz]

Agreed, I got so nostalgic watching this, awesome video! I would like to add though that students often wear their hats in pubilc around one or two weeks or like everywhere they go, where random people congratulate them. Also at the stop, it is so aqurate with the very little time, caos, bieng impressed with family, food or house, telling family members they are grateful for the student, the food or other.

[@kimfabricius4463]

Stor Tillykke til Maya og til de stolte forældre !!

[@KHValby]

Dear Maya. We are many Danes who have followed you and your family since you arrived in our small country. You especially had to struggle with a new country, a new culture and a completely new language! I know that we local followers are both happy for you and your achievement ! Like Mom and Dad, are SUPER PROUD of you, so are we❤! ! It is not every year that a young American woman gets a Danish Studenthat 👍 ! You've worked hard for it, so it´s only fair that you get to celebrate in the Danish way 😆! Seeing your home filled with drunk Teens was priceless ! Not sure Mom and Dad were fully prepared for what would arrive at your house 🤣🤣🤣 ! Dear Maya! Life is in front of you and you can create it as you see fit ! Again, I think I speak for most when I wish you good luck and happiness in all your future endeavours ❤! PS: Miranda and Josh. I hope you made her help clean up the day after 🤣🤣🤣🤣?

[@MrChrlau]

Godt skrevet 🙂

[@TravelinYoung]

Maya clean?!? You are a funny one!! 😂

[@KHValby]

@@TravelinYoung Your good parents, but apparently you failed when it came to teaching cleaning ! LMAO You wouldn't be the first parents (American or Danish) to fail in teaching there kids to clean up after themself ! In that way, there no better than we were at the same age 🤣🤣🤣 ! Some things just don't change 🙄

The best thing about the Youngs: embracing Danish culture like 200%. "Okay, y'all drink like beasts upon graduation. Fine, we vibe"

[@ZeeJohansen]

Jeg regnede ikke selv med at vognkørelsen ville være specielt, men det var nok den bedste og fedeste fest i min studietid! Stort tillykke med huen!

[@benjaminandersen8482]

What Americans probably won't get... this started at 9 in the morning... and went like that ALL DAY! (And probably the day after) - they had beer on the Vogn, and there's probably a case of beer at each stop.

[@TravelinYoung]

Can confirm, we had a case of beer at our stop. 😂

[@winnex317]

From the day I graduated I didn't stop drinking for 3 weeks straight. It took 3 weeks from the day I stopped until I felt sober. Never doing it again, but it was amazing.

[@SimplyConeh]

@@TravelinYoung Emphasis on the word "had" or...?

[@focksen7797]

There will be drinking every day for at least two weeks.

[@Saganen]

My father made flæskestegs sandwiches at our stop. All the boys showed him so much love, just like these guys did to you. This video reminds me of it. Thank you so much. And congratulations to all of you!

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

Reminder to myself, when my oldest reaches graduation age, have a 2,5 kW charging station ready for the youngsters... or perhaps just a box of powerbanks with cables 😀 Congrats Maya, and congrats to the entire family. I'm happy how you show how much of a party this event is for the students. It's noisy and messy, but if anything needs a celebration it's education. Also, Maya was so lucky to have English as the last exam/test. Gotta be so nice to enter the last exam knowing that it's a subject where you can correct the teacher and sensor. Again, congrats and party on, you deserve it 😄

[@TravelinYoung]

Yes, charging station is a good call!!

[@snowatom]

Stort tillykke Maya. Det har været sjovt at følge dit liv i Danmark frem til din afsluttende eksamener. Sikke nogle flotte resultater. Kæmpe held og lykke i fremtiden. Dine forældre har så god grund til at være stolte af dig.

Stort tillykke med huen Maya 🇺🇸 🇩🇰

[@MsBlackdeath13]

I think different cities/schools have different traditions. Like here we have a statue in the city center, that every graduate bus goes to and then do a small party with. Some take a group picture with it. Some also have a song they sing at the statue. As far as I recall it’s considered good luck for your future.

[@TravelinYoung]

@@MsBlackdeath13 ah yeah, in this case they went to the beach and all went in the water at some point during the van tour.

Yaay! Congrats Maya :) How time flies. That's a properly decorated studenterhue right there. Some years ago my neighbours posted a warning about noise from a studenterfest as their oldest daughter was graduating. Turned out it was the last stop on the trip, and they were all so tired that there was no noise at all. Godspeed to you all.

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

Congrats Maya! -I passed you and your mom a few weeks back, fun seeing you out IRL! Didn't wanna bother you on a nice saturday so I just walked by! lol I became a student back in 2003 and boy did we party! I still have friends from back then and sometimes we still laugh about the stories!

This brought a big smile to my face. Four years ago I made a bicycle camping tour from my home in Aachen, Germany to Trondheim, Norway. I had my first rest day in Kungälv, Sweden (just north of Goteborg), and it just happened to coincide with their very similar graduation ceremonies. I have many photos of decorated trucks driving by with all the happy young people on board. Quite an experience. Very not American. -- Congratulations.

Congratulations with the hat 🎉 I got mine in 2010 and it's fun to see how different traditions can be with the same event - the whole beer pong (and variations of that) wasn't and still doesn't seem to be a thing here in Jylland. Where I live they have a day where the new graduates meet at a central square in the city (in the middle of the main shopping street) and dance around beech trees. In other cities they dance around a specific statue or fountain. It's like a sort of passover ritual, I guess 😅

[@InkyRemy]

Congratulations! I think it's impressive! I moved to Denmark in 1972 , 18 years old. I tried going to Gymnasium but I didn't understand enough Danish. So I worked for some years in a Børnehave and a Fritidshjem and started taking HF enkelt fag. By the time I was in my early 30s I was studying English at Aarhus University. I went on to teach foreigners Danish and then worked with teaching Asylum seekers. I knew first hand how difficult the language is and I have seen discrimination. I have worked politically with integration in the Kommune and now volunteer with Røde Kors Integration.❤

[@soul0360]

I'm a native Dane. I Grew up in a lower middle class family in a 'Ghetto'. I salute you, for your accomplishments, and what you do. It's important stuff. Being an immigrant of low means in Denmark is not easy. Getting help with learning the language early on, is essential. If you are to give yourself and your children a decent chance, at a good future. Especially if you get put in social housing, with few native Danes, when you first arrive. Discrimination is a real problem, and it's getting worse. Our Integration policy has been abysmal, since atleast the early 90's. Who would have thought, that isolating newcomers in areas, where they get limited chances of interacting with ethnic Danes, could be bad for integration. /s
