Kielitaito: kiina, englanti
I’m a girl who was born in a lovely family with two children, my little brother is an 8th grade student, and both my parents are teachers in elementary school. As the oldest child in my family, looking after all my young cousins is always my responsibility during the Lunar New Year. I like to assign different duties to kids of different ages to make sure everyone gets the right position in the kitchen. We always enjoy our time making pancakes and decorating them. To me, family members are not only a kind of responsibility in life, but the important people who I can share all the happiness with. Having someone to love and share life with is a true blessing. The Finnish concept of Sisu really appeals to me. Grit, bravery, and resilience are three precious characteristics that I am eager to bring back to my country.

My name is Costanza and I’m so excited to write this letter! I’ve always dreamed of living in another country, and now my dream is going to come true! I live in a city in the north of Italy, with my mom and my brother. I really like studying, mainly because I want to keep all my grades high, but also because I learn a lot of new things, so I always try to give my best at school. Despite all the commitments, I’ve managed to carry on all my hobbies! For example, I really like to paint. I also like to read. Now I work out at the gym because I can go there whenever I want. If I could choose, I would follow an ice-skating course, I LOVE IT, it’s just like roller skating, but on ice!!! Finally, I like cooking. But I LOVE baking cakes!!! It’s just awesome. All kind of cakes, from simple recipes, to cakes with multiple layers. (And of course I also love to eat them). I think that this exchange program will be a great occasion to learn something new every day. I am sure that it will be an unforgettable experience!
