My name is Constantin. I am 15 years old and very excited to have the opportunity to spend a year abroad in the US. Currently I live with my parents and sister in Steinhagen in Germany. My personality I am calm, open, reliable, friendly and helpful. And there are several reasons why I would love to do the year abroad in the US. The first is the cultural exchange, I believe that living in the US will provide me with insights into its traditions, customs and everyday life. The second point is the language development. One of my primary goals is to improve my English skills. I think in a country where English is the main language is it more easy and faster to master it than in a traditional classroom in Germany. The last point is the personal growth. A year abroad is the perfect opportunity to become more independent and open-minded for different cultures and more. Here in Germany I do sports in my free time like going to the gym and play soccer at our local Soccer club. When I am alone I like to play some video games.

Since I was a little child I loved sports. I practiced everything I could. I practiced swimming the longest. I gave up swimming only for Ninja. In Ninja I had the greatest achievements. I was a top athlete in the country. I won multiple competitions and always stood on the podium. I qualified for the European Championships twice and for the World Championships once. I had great potential and a bright future, unfortunately everything was ruined by multiple injuries, which were only summed up by an accident at a handball competition. I currently go to the gym, which I still enjoy because of the physical activity. In my free time I also bake a lot with my younger sister. Together with Lenka we bake various cookies, muffins, croissants, cakes and tarts. I have the least experience in cakes, because they are the least often made, but I even had the opportunity to make a meringue cake for my friend's birthday. We most often bake various types of cookies. There are many types and we make both chocolate ones and healthier ones - oat ones. I try not to choose only the common chocolate sweets but also the more varied ones, e.g. matcha cookies. My little inner dream is to open a small bakery someday. I am also interested in architecture. Now I am also doing it in the future direction. I attend architectural drawing classes to choose it as my career in the future. In my free time I spend time on platforms with different rooms and their decor, being inspired by them.

I consider myself fun and both funny but I am also very empathetic and caring for others. I am calm most of the time but when doing sports I am very competitive. I am tremendously hardworking both in school and in sports. I consider I know how to act depending on the situation and I think it is tremendously important. Having said all this I would like people to think of me as polite over every other aspect as I think that is what defines me as a person. One of my hobbies is playing soccer, i love sports in general but i’ve dedicated most of my childhood on playing soccer to this day I still continue playing.

At first, I would be pleased to introduce myself. I am Frederik, a 16-year-old student, who lives in Cologne, a city of 1 million inhabitants that finds itself in the very west of Germany. There I visit the 10th grade. Speaking about my personal preferences, I am very into history, finance and sports. Speaking of sports, I love skiing, tennis and working out. However, I am always interested in learning new sports. When I would have to describe my personality, I would argue that I am always interest in learning new types of things. I also would argue that I do work a lot on the topics I am interested in. Besides that I do like to address problems immediately, regardless of their type. I do believe in self-improvement and in general getting better every day. When asking myself on why I should participate in a student exchange year I do see some benefits. At first, I really look forward to improve my intercultural skills. I also do believe that participating in an academic year would help me in dealing with all types of hardships that I will later face in my live. Lastly, I would be pleased to explore the amazing society the American people have built over the last 250 years.

She spent a year in Indiana and told me many exciting stories about her time there. In my free time, I love playing tennis, going to the gym or meeting up with friends. I also listen to music almost all the time, mostly German hip-hop, but I also like other kinds of music. I enjoy going to concerts sometimes and hope to do that in the U.S. as well. When I’m not doing sports or listening to music, I like watching Netflix or YouTube or relaxing with my friends or my family. I am also very organized and like keeping my room tidy. I am especially looking forward to experiencing life at an American high school, meeting new people, and making my own memories.

Hi! I'm Jan, and I'm about to embark on an amazing adventure: an academic year in the United States! I've always loved learning and experiencing new things, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. As you can see, I'm a pretty active guy. I'm passionate about sports, especially soccer. I'm a huge fan of FC Barcelona - visca el Barça! My favorite player is Leo Messi, a true soccer genius! I really enjoy watching the games, celebrating the goals, and feeling the excitement of soccer with my friends. But I'm not just a soccer fanatic, I also love mountain skiing. I really enjoy the adrenaline rush of going down a snowy slope and the feeling of freedom it gives me. But it's not all about sports in my life. I also like spending time with my friends and family. I'm a kind and generous person, and I think that's something that makes me unique. I always try to be polite and friendly to others, and I like making new friends.

Hi, I'm Jannis, 16 years old, and I live in a beautiful city with about 300.000 inhabitants in the south of Germany close to the alps. If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am a person who is open to new things and experiences. I love travelling and seeing new countries, exploring their culture and especially their food. That's why a year abroad in the USA is perfect for me to gain new experiences. My friends would say that I am a very reliable person, which means that I always complete the tasks I must do on time. I'm also a very organised person, because I simply can't do without organisation. When I'm learning something, for example, I have to structure and organise everything so that everything fits. I plan what and when I have to learn something, and who will take me to my game next week, for example. I'm also a very funny person, I can laugh a lot, even about very stupid things, but sometimes I make a joke at an inappropriate moment when it's not appropriate to make it. As I am also a football referee in my free time, so I have learnt there to take responsibility and make quick decisions, even if they are not always correct. One of my weaknesses is that I sometimes say the wrong thing at the wrong time, which is often not cool, and I usually always want to be right in discussions with friends or family. At that moment, I completely ignore the other side and insist completely on my opinion, even if it's sometimes not right at all. I have a lot of hobbies that I do in my spare time. Until recently, I practiced martial arts for 10 years, which I really enjoyed. I've been playing handball in a club for about 3 years and go to training there twice a week and usually have a game at the weekend. Since the beginning of the year 2024, I've also been a soccer referee, which means I referee a game every weekend, which I also really enjoy because I can do a lot of sport and can earn a little pocket money. I should also mention that I am a huge soccer fan of my home club FC Augsburg. I'm very often at matches in the stadium, or when I'm not in the stadium I watch the games on TV. I am also a very musical person. I've been playing the piano since the 2nd grade and have lessons every week, and I've also been playing a second instrument, the viola, for about 3 years. We also have a little dog called Mozart, with whom I go out and play almost every day and look after him. I'm looking forward to a lot of things during my year abroad. I'm curious to see what my host family will be like, what their everyday life will be like and whether it really is completely different to Germany. I'm looking forward to exploring a whole new country, discovering the culture, experiencing new traditions and trying new dishes. I'm also looking forward to the school there, to the sports clubs there and I'm also looking forward to meeting new friends and making new friends, because it's always cool to have an international friendship. All in all, I can say that I'm looking forward to everything during my year abroad.

One of my favorite hobbies is traveling. I normally travel in our RV with my parents and my brother. In the summer holidays, we often go to sunny countries like France, Spain or Portugal, in the winter holidays, we go to Spain or stay at home. Normally, in the spring holidays, I've traveled with my grandparents and my brother while my parents travel in our RV. Lastly, during the fall break, we also travel with our RV but normally, we do not go to the country where we went in summer holidays, but to other countries like Croatia or Italy. I love traveling and seeing new countries and things. My most favorite hobby is planespotting. It may not be a hobby that everyone else has but I believe that having special hobbies is also interesting. A hobby that I do daily throughout the week is biking. I go to school by bike and it balances the time that I spend inside and the time that I spend outside. A hobby that I mostly do during summer is swimming, which I do in our swimming pool.
