Meet Our Students

Hello! My name is Gevorg and I come from Armenia located in Eastern Europe. I am proud to represent my country as a scholarship winner of the prestigious FLEX program! I am beyond excited to visit America and make new friends. Both of my parents are teachers and I guess I get my love of learning from them! I love history, photography and making movies. I will never get bored of exploring new places. I like to read great literature and watch movies because they inspire me! It helps me to be able to cheer people up. I also cheer them up by making smoothies and cookies! I love to be positive and taking a walk in the woods often helps me feel positive. I look forward to meeting my new host family! I am sure we will have some good times and have a good joke together as well.

​I am a very open minded person that is always ready for new hobbies and activities. In the future, I dream about becoming a teacher. I love literature, art and books because they inspire me. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family because I love them so much. We always have dinner together and on the weekends we garden together. I also love playing the piano and being in nature hiking. If you ask my friends they would say I am funny, friendly and an active person. We love volunteering together, going to movies. I want to know more about the American culture and hope to try cheerleading, choir and art. I can hardly wait to meet you!!

My name is Anastasiya and I am 15 years old. I live with parents, older sister and my younger brother. I spend as much as possible time with my family, we love long talks at dinner; we enjoy activities like traveling into town or enjoying our Saturdays together having small talks and tell jokes. My friends are like my second family, I'm really grateful for them and for all the talks about of lives or adventures we have had, my friends are those who hold my head above water. I really cherish all friendships I have. I would like learning new languages and my passion is English, reading, drawing, swimming, dancing, and any display of creativity. I love planning and organizing. I would love to become a part of your family. I would be over the moon if you have pets. I want to introduce you to my country because Ukraine has rich culture and history. I want to share my life with you and if you could choose me, I would be over the moon. I really am looking forward to becoming a part of your family

I am grateful to FLEX and you for giving me this opportunity to learn about the people and culture of the US as well as the opportunity to teach Americans about our culture and our people. I am a happy, hardworking, outgoing, and responsible person. I always enjoy helping others. I have a fantastic family. We enjoy spending a lot of time together, taking walks with the dog, and playing board games. My younger brothers are the best. They always make me laugh. When I have free time, I enjoy painting. It helps me to slow down and look at the world differently. Although my interests are many, I do not know where my future will lead me. I am hoping to discover a little of that during my exchange.
