School is a place where I look forward coming every day, not a place I dread and do not want to be at. For some people cheating is the only way how to get anywhere in life. I desagree with that opinion. I think being a honest person can build great character in life. High school is a very important time in persons life. This is the time to set goals and to find solutions. One of my goals is to graduate high school. And this goal may be also accomplished by paying attention in class ( there are a lot of things to learn that school teaches us ).I think that if I develop at young age good study habits and really care about my work then I will benefit from it for the rest of my life. Studying English has always been my hobby. In my opinion English is the most important language. The knowledge of English allows me to communicate with people from other countries and learn about their cultures and it will also assist me in practical ways. Learning English opens up totally new doors and allows me to have a much more broad range of experiences. That is the reason why I wish to take part in this scholarship program.
For the first time I left my parents, friends and my native language was during the summer vacation. I spent one month in United States by a host family. It was an incredible experience for me. I traveled from Vienna to Frankfurt and to Chicago just with my classmate. I had a really nice time there, I felt like at home- my host family became my real family. In my free time I do sport. I was a member of a swimming club on the basic school. I quit because I study in another town and I rent a flat with my schoolmates there, so I go home only during weekends. I enjoy having my „own“ flat with my three schoolmates. I am usually the one who cooks and tides the rooms.We often help each other with studying. During the year I practise different kinds of sports: cycling , roller skating, swimming, table tennis, hiking, volleyball, basketball.My favorites sport is ice hockey. To be exact- watching ice hockey, particularly NHL. I am a „hockey freak“. I do not do sport to beat someone. I do it because it is fun, because I like it. But it is great feeling to win. You know that you are good at it and that you are better than someone else and it gives you self-confidence. Reading is an important part of my life. I read books for pleasure or when I want to learn something or I take book as a good way to relax. Book is neccessary thing in my life. My disposition to this hobby comes from my grandpa- he also reads a lot.
