State request: NC - North Carolina

I am really interested in trying new things and after trying a lot of them I am pretty sure that I picked some that I love to do and I am sure that I am going to do them for the rest of my life. The first thing that I fell in love with was piano, I started attending a Music School to learn how to play it, I went there for six years. Unfortunately, I had to stop going to this school and start to rely on myself. The piano really showed me that music is an art and I love this kind of art so much. To this day I am mad at myself that I decided to stop playing it, but after some years I am sure I will come back to it in the future. Every day I listen to music, especially when I am going to school. It makes me relax and I feel like I am on another world while listening to it. About two and a half years ago I fell in love with this genre called K-Pop, which is Korean pop. I found out that I really enjoy it and that it connects me to music even more then before. Because of it, my love for piano slowly started to come back to me. Another thing I really love is collecting. It started when I was a child. The supermarkets in my country did those kind of things that when you bought certain amount of groceries you got a sticker, cards or even mini figures. I loved collecting these it was such a good feeling when you got the whole collection. Now the thing I collect is cards from the K-Pop albums they are called photocards. I have a big collection of them and it is still growing. The joy I feel when I unpack my mail is really indescribable. I also collect the albums with the CD because I think that listening music from a CD is a whole different feeling, especially in the car. Recently I started going to the gym and I also enjoy it so much. It is a time when you are only focusing on yourself so you can reach your goal. I think that having a goal in your life is so important and is it such a nice feeling when you are slowly reaching to it. There is one more thing that is really inportant to me and it is makeup. I do not do it every day to school but I just love sitting down on my chair and trying some new techniques. The thing that I enjoy in it so much is that you can do everything you want. I love doing Halloween makeups every year it is a time for myself and I wait for it every year. These are the most inportant hobbies and interests to me. I also enjoy reading, acting and singing but I am not professional in it.

I would say I'm an open-minded, curious and empathetic person who loves new challenges. That's why I decided to go on an exchange year. I want to challenge myself and live the life I have been dreaming of for five years now. I love meeting new people, although I'm sometimes shy but it is really easy for me to adapt. For me meeting new people is perfect for my curiosity because you can learn a lot about them and their life and I think that it is really important to have new perspectives in your life. I am really looking forward to spending time with my host family and new friends. I really enjoy playing board games especially escape room or mystery ones and I think it would be really helpful for getting to know each other. I also look forward to the holidays, I can't wait to expirience Thanksgiving and especially Halloween. I love doing makeup which is why I really love Halloween. For a couple of years now I've been doing my makeup for Halloween but I only went trick or treating once beacause we don't celebrate it in Poland as much as you do. I also love trying new things that's why I have a couple of hobbies. The ones that I'm stuck with are playing piano, collecting (cards and albums), listening to music and going to the gym. I went to music school when I was younger and the instrument I chose was piano, unfortunately I stopped playing it but after so many years I am slowly starting to come back to playing it. I am really proud of myself for deciding to come back to playing it because piano and music are really important to me. Music has always been a big part of my life and listening to it makes me feel like I'm in another world. About two and a half years ago I fell in love with this genre called K-Pop, which is Korean Pop. I found out two groups that I fell in love with they are called Stray Kids and Enhypen, their music is so beautiful that I will never get bored of listening to it. This year I made my dream come true which was seeing those two groups in real life. I went to Germany for their concerts and those two days were definitely the best days of my life! I had so much fun there. The next thing that I mentioned is actually related to K-Pop, it's collecting cards and albums that these groups release. I have a big collection and I want to make it even bigger! I'm really proud of it. It is really so relaxing I really recommend that. Apart from music I also enjoy going to the gym, I go there twice a week and I feel so good after my training. I love to have a goal that I want to achieve beacuse the feeling you get when you start to see results is indescribable. Like I said I love to try new things so I am really open to finding new hobbies while being on the exchange.

Describing myself to other people is quite difficult for me. I think that my personality is affected by various factors. Factors are my mood as well as the people around me. I can say that most of the time I’m a very kind person, at least I’m trying to be. I get rid of all collected bad energy in sports. Most of the time that works pretty well. My hobbies are definitely all kinds of sports. I’m always interested in learning new ones. Here at home in Germany I play handball and I swim in sports clubs. I love these two sports because I’m performing them together with many of my friends. This means I can see them regularly. I also go to the gym nearly every day. Most of the time I go there with my friend Alex. I want to learn about traditions and holidays in America because here in Germany the holidays are not celebrated as big as in America. I also want to achieve my goal to speak better English. I also want to find out if the picture I have of the American way of life and the values might even be better than I imagine. I would like to see as much of the beautiful United States of America as possible. For example, I would like to visit a big city like Los Angeles or New York or see a national park like the Yellowstone National Park. I’m already very excited about my time in America.

I would describe myself as a cheerful and outgoing person who finds it easy to make friends. I am usually in a good mood, except when I first wake up in the morning, and I try to look at life optimistically. I would also say that I am organized. Since I have several activities in the afternoons, I have to organize myself well with my schoolwork and household chores in order to get everything done. I am very studious and it is very important for me to get good grades. I am not satisfied with just passing my classes and I always strive for excellence, which sometimes makes me feel frustrated if I don't reach the level I demand of myself. My main hobby is basketball. I devote a lot of time and effort to the team, which also includes some of my best friends, so it's not just the sport itself but also the time we spend together after practices and games. I also really enjoy getting together with my friends to do different things like shopping, having sleepovers, listening to music, or anything else. Another thing I love is traveling with my family and seeing new places. When we do this in the summer, it's one of the best times of the year for me. That's why I've decided to spend a year in the US. I'd love to immerse myself in a new culture, meet new people with different perspectives on life that will surely enrich me as a person, become more independent, and learn a new language. I'm sure this experience will help me grow a lot as a person, which is the most important thing.
