I love every kind of sport. I played tennis, football and did karate for many years. Now I swim and I go to the gym. Sometimes during weekends I ride a bike or skateboard. I used to play on electric guitar and I hope to play again someday. In school I like biology and everything about humans because in the future I would like to help people and become a physical therapist or massage therapist. This profession is ideal for the future because thousands of IT professionals and other sedentary professions will have back problems. That's why sport is so important to me and in the future combining that with knowledge. On the other hand, I like animals very much. My mother and I regularly visit the animal shelter and help by walking the dogs.

My name is Adam, and I'm on the cusp of turning 17. I'm known for my calm demeanor and laid-back personality. However, despite having a tendency towards laziness, I have recently embraced a more active lifestyle. Now, I find myself hitting the gym and playing soccer with my friends more often than not. I also relish spending time outdoors, taking long walks with my dog through the forest trails. In my downtime, I thoroughly enjoy cooking, with spaghetti being my signature dish. I favor warm, sunny weather and find that the cold saps my energy and motivation. My interests are varied - from soccer, which I've grown to consider as my hobby, to listening to music, spending time on my computer, or simply hanging out with friends. I also love cycling and water sports like surfing and jet skiing, always up for an adrenaline rush. Although I am not much of a club-goer, preferring the comfort of home instead, I am keen on meeting new people and making meaningful connections during my upcoming year in the USA. My goal is to improve my English, learn more about American culture, and explore various interesting places, as I've always dreamt of living abroad. My interest in an active lifestyle has been influenced in part by my grandparents. My grandfather, a well-known actor, Andrzej Seweryn, embodies resilience and passion, constantly busy with theater or film set. My grandmother, Katarzyna Kubacka-Seweryn, organizes a film festival, and her energetic approach to life is genuinely inspiring. Hence, during my time in the USA, I would love to be with an active family who enjoys biking or dining out. It's not just about learning a new language and culture, but also about having memorable experiences and growing both personally and acadically in this new environment. My dream is to have a great time with my host family, at school, and overall, to make the most of this exciting opportunity.

I would describe myself as a cheerful, athletic, ambitious and creative person. But I'm also considerate, curious and adventurous. In my free time I do gymnastics individually and in a team. I love this sport because you are challenged not just physically, but also mentally. Gymnastics requires a lot of concentration, strength and endurance. I really enjoy training with my friends. I train 3-4 times a week and once a week I coach the younger kids. It is very nice to see how much progress they make. Besides gymnastics, I ride at least once a week. I love to work with Milano, the pony I always ride. No matter if it is dressage, liberty, jumping or go on track rides. It’s always a very nice time with him. I know this pony since November 2020 and we’ve spent many nice hours together since then. When I’m not exercising, I love to meet with friends or do something with my family.

In my school, I was allowed to characterize myself for "Professional Orientation". I would characterize myself as social, polite and helpful. I am reliable, very orderly and careful, responsible and a team player. I am cautious, sometimes wait-and-see, but still curious. My hobbies are playing handball and go skiing. This winter I started to learn snowboarding. In my free time I hang out with friends, play board games with my family and watch movies. I am a fan of Marvell and Harry Potter. I also really like traveling, reading books and listening to music. I also like puzzling. With my grandparents and my family we play cards or board games at regular intervals. I would like to experience the typical high school spirit and be involved in the new school in a similar way as I am now (volunteering, project work). The American school sports, such as American football or baseball, are much more intense and exciting compared to Germany (more spectators, more offers, more school spirit). Also the course offerings are more job-related.

No special diet

My most important character traits are my ability to make friends quickly and my positive attitude towards other people. Furthermore I think that I am also an open and non-judgmental person. When I want to achieve something that I can't do yet (regardless of whether it's at school or outside of it), I can get very ambitious and don't give up easily. However, if my efforts do not lead to success quickly enough, I tend to get frustrated. But that often means that I get even more involved in tasks and challenges in order not to experience this disappointment. In my free time when there’s no homework to do, I am a good humored and very relaxed person. I also like to do a variety of different sports and spend a lot of time with my friends. I prefer to do that outside. I also enjoy spending time with my family (both my parents and sister, as well as my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins). Another important part of my life is music. Not only have I been playing the piano for over 9 years, I also like listening to music. My favorite genres in this regard are pop and hip hop. It’s not a problem for me to get in touch with other people, on the contrary: I am very communicative and like to exchange ideas with others or have discussions with them. I have a stable and long-existing circle of friends with whom I do a lot. We usually get along really well. But when there are disagreements, I can also handle criticism and I am not resentful. During my year abroad, I am looking forward to meeting new teenagers and making friends from different cultures and origins. I am also curious what life in a completely different continent will be like. Another hobby of mine is sports (soccer, volleyball, swimming, skiing and snowboarding). I have been a member of a local soccer team for about 8 years. Given that I enjoy this ball sport a lot, I even acquired a coaching license in 2022 and I am now officially entitled to teach soccer to children and young people. In addition to that, I love playing volleyball. I am currently a member of a volleyball team and we practice twice a week. During winter, my family and I often go to the Alps. I started learning skiing when I was 5 years old and I still go skiing and snowboarding at least 2 weeks every year.

My name is Antonia and I am 16 years old. What I'm looking forward to the most about going on an exchange year is propably being in a completely new environment and getting to know new people, a different culture, a different way of thinking and living and also maybe discovering a new side of myself. Eventhough not knowing anyone or anything when I arrive is probably also what I find the scariest. Another thing I'm looking forward to is practicing english by speaking it 24/7. As for my hobbies, for the last year I've been into musicals and recently I spend a lot of time listening to musicals on Spotify. I also enjoy reading mainly fantasy novels. Currently I'm reading "Oathbringer" from the "Stormlight Archive". Another thing I like is playing video games, though mainly single player games like " Horizon Forbidden West" or "The legend of Zelda Breath of the wild ". I am also a member of a group of older teenagers that help organize events and games for 13-14 year old teens. I like playing board games with my family or friends from time to time as well.

In the evening I only go out during the weekend and usually I go to eat in a pizzeria or restaurant and then we meet in the square of my town with my friends. Sometimes I go to dance or to some concert. I really like traveling, playing sports and shopping. When I was younger I was part of an artistic gymnastics team and also competed in national competitions. At home, my daily task is to set the table for dinner and help set up after eating. Sometimes I enjoy cooking and I'm looking forward to let you taste some typical Italian recipes. I am very excited to live this new experience and immerse myself in American culture and I hope to learn your language very well.

I’d describe myself as a rather calm and a bit reclusive person, at least around people I don’t know very well. Around friends who I know well, I am a lot more open, but it takes some time for me to get close to new people. My personal interests include mainly video games and mini painting. Mini painting simply means painting miniature figures. So far, I’ve only ever painted miniatures from Games Workshop using colors from Citadel and Game Color. For my exchange year, I’m thrilled to get to know American culture and the English language better. I feel like America is something you hear a lot about all the time, but you don’t really know all that much about its culture and people. The other big reason I’d like to go to America is because I’d like to improve on my English. I know the language pretty well already and I believe it can only help to expand on that.

The club supports our school bands with their practice and performances. I also babysit an eight year old boy every Wednesday. Besides those regular appointments I really love to read all kind of books, but especially fantasy ones. They showed me the beauty of cultures so different than mine.

I`m Daria, I have brown long hair and brown eyes with a little green in them. I`m currently 5´4 feet tall and have pretty light skin. I´ll probably be a little shy if you get to know me at first but after a while it gets better. I love to talk (sometimes I also talk a little too much) about things I and others like and about feelings. I would say I am a nice person or at least I`m always trying to be the nicest possible in the situation. I`m a pretty funny and open girl with the right friends. Sometimes I can also be very lazy or tired but that is the point where I just need some time for myself. Unfortunately, I can also quickly get angry if someone says or does something I don`t like, well but hopefully that won´t cause a lot of trouble. I took dancing classes for 6 years, which has also become one of my favourite activities and I believe I was pretty good at it too, but sadly I had to stop dancing because some of the people in my dance group said mean things about me behind my back so that I didn`t feel comfortable anymore. I`m currently hoping to find a new dance group so I can carry out my talent again. Sometimes I also write letters to myself to express my feelings and let go of the pressure I and probably a lot of people have kept in themselves, that`s why I also really like to read poetry books. I`m looking forward to finding a lot of new friends on my exchange year and to trying out new things while having a lot of fun and I hope it will just be a refreshing pause from the life in Germany, even though I really like my familiy and friends here but maybe I can find myself and more things I`m passionate about or like. In addition to that I also really look forward to meeting my host family and I hope we will get along well and have as much fun as possible together.

I am a friendly, open, helpful and sportive person. I hate fights so I try to avoid them as much as possible. I really don’t like to break rules too. That’s why, sometimes, my friends call me a fun killer (which doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun. People can absolutely have fun with me). The good thing is people who are around me trust me. I am a very ambitious character as well, so when there is something on my mind, I do everything which is in my power to make it happen. Sometimes I am insecure about myself, but not when I talk to new people. So, I am definitely not shy. Just for you to know. It is not easy for me, to write down so many (positive) things (about me), because I really don’t like conceited people and I don’t want to sound like one. I am playing soccer in a girls team, I dance, I like to work out, I do gymnastics at home as well, I love hanging out with my friends even though I don’t have much time for them, I like to cook and bake and I love listening to music.

When you get ask to describe yourself it is always a hard question because you have to reflect yourself, what you do and how you act in different situations. For me it is really important to do this because so you know what you maybe have to chance. I am a person who have to try out many things because so I know what I like. How do you know what you are want to study or what person do you want to be. For example I only can say I don’t want to live in the USA if I did it before or I can say I do not like this food when I ate it before. It is the same with my hobbies, I do many things like athletics, ballet, dancing and vaulting. Vaulting ( it’s like do gymnastics on a horse, if you do not know ) I did eight years but then I want to do something different. Now I am swimming every Thursday in a club, I feel so free in the water so I think it is fantastic. I chanced my hair colour and my hair cut the the last years often, because at some point I feel I need something different ( now I have brown hair, maybe I am blond again when we meet). I also decorate my room new or organise my things different when I want something new. I love it when things are organised and I have an overview about everything. In my free time I love singing and dancing alone or with my friends it is really funny. Meeting my friends is a thing I prefer a lot so I hope I will make friends in my exchange. I also love the nature, when the sun is shining and I am going for a walk with my brother in the woods. I enjoy little things like when the sun is shining in my room in the morning. Some days I just want to lay in my bed and relax and watch TV and I thing I have a mix of everything in my life. I am a crazy and funny person but I am also calm and patient and I am really excited to meet my host family in the USA.

My hobbies are baking/cooking, singing, and spending time with my friends. But I love so many things equally. I love music, I listen to it anytime I can and I love watching movies/tv shows, my fav are all marvel movies, stranger things, greys anatomy, euphoria and so much more! I also like sports, my fav since I’m a little child is definitely swimming, but I also like to play volleyball or basketball, I sometimes play it with my brother. But one of my fav hobbies ever is decorating, I love being creative and sometimes I wanna buy all the stuff at ikea and decorate a whole apartment by myself. And traveling ofc, I love getting to know new places and cultures and one day I wanna do a whole world tour :) But I’m a person who loves trying new stuff and I’m always open for new things!

I would describe myself as an open, honest, polite, lovely and very sweet person, I like to explore new things and I’m kind to really everyone. I’m very ambitious with things I wanna achieve wether it‘s school, my future career or trying to cook a new dish. I’m to be honest a really messy person but I love to clean. I care a lot and always listen to people and try to be there for them, I’m very empathetic, my mom tells me this all the time, I can put myself in peoples shoes and understand what’s going on. I’m also very sleepy, I like to take naps after school. My hobbies that I do regularly at the moment are singing and dogschool, I do singing now for 3 years, not in a choir tho, it’s only me and my singing teacher, I always loved singing so much but I wasn’t really the best in it, so I started taking lessons and I’ve actually just performed in front of people a couple of weeks ago for the first time which I was really nervous about because I usually don’t feel comfortable yet singing in front of other people, I’m not a professional singer and I also don’t plan on being one, but I love singing with my heart and I will never stop with that. Dogschool I do now for already 7 years, I do it with my dog, her name is cosy and she’s now 9 years old and I kinda grew up with her, we have a really strong relationship, she’s like a little sister to me, and I love her so so much, I really do everything with her. But I also have hobbies like cooking/baking or meeting friends, baking/cooking was also something I always loved to do, especially baking, I love to try new recipes or decorating cakes afterwards, I don’t know what I love so much about it but it’s just something that I’m actually good in and just have so much fun doing it. And I also really really love to watch movies/tv shows, especially action or sci-fi movies, my fav movies are the marvel movies. The most I look forward about doing an exchange is firstly getting to know a new country, but also to go to a Highschool, getting to know a new family, new friends hopefully, new people in general, new food and new traditions, and seeing the difference between 2 countries.

My personality can simply be described with loyalty, joy of life and optimism. Honestly I have to say that I am not perfect. Sometimes I am chaotic, tired and lazy. Although I am optimistic I am built very close to the water which means that I am a bit emotional and sensitive. Going out with friends and staying home with my pets belongs to my hobbies. I really like baking and cooking and maybe even more than eating at a restaurant. For me it is not easy to eat somewhere else than home but after a few days this problem is solved. I have a very close relationship with animals which is probably the reason for me being vegan. I feel very connected with them and I am not just empathetic to people. I am also very empathetic to animals. As far as interpersonal relationships are concerned, I am very tolerant and trustful. I am looking foward to improve my english and to spend much time with you! For me it is such a great experience and I am counting every day until I finally arrived at the USA!

Well, it´s not easy for me to describe myself, but I guess I´m a happy, polite and neat person. I really like to learn new things. That´s why I ltravel much around to see other cultures and ways of life. I think every problem can solved or can be improved with a little walk in nature. I am a person who does`nt put much value on money which is why I´m always happy about everything. For example small gifts. I´ve got a really good relationhip with my family and friends. That is the reason why I hate to have a argument with them. Since every argument i´ve had, had a happy end i am pretty sure I am not stubborn. Additionally, what I don´t like at all are evil people around me. In this situation I feel very uncomfortable.

When I go home after school I organize my time so I can do my homework and study (If I need to) so I can have some free time, because I have basketball 3 days a week two and a half hours. I try to help everybody around me so they can feel comfortable. My friends say I am funny, I like to tell jokes and entertain people. In my free time I like to do lots of things, but there are some activities that I like the most, for example: meeting my friends, playing basketball or tennis, playing the guitar, surfing… I have basketball training 3 days a week and I have matches on weekends. Also, I play a lot with my team friends in the park. As I just said, I also play tennis. I used to train 2 times a week but this year I just play with my parents on the weekends. In my free time I also like to play the electric guitar, and I think that I play it quite well. I also formed a rock group with some friends of mine, and we played at my school festival a couple of times. In the summer I really like to surf and I like to see the waves forecast to see if I can surf. In the exchange I’m looking forward to learning from my host family about the American way of life, traditions, etc. I expect to improve my English skills and to make new friends. What I would like the most is to have fun and learn a lot. And I hope that I can also teach about the Spanish way of life to my host family and friends.
