Talk about your experince of living in the USA.
It was a nice adventure. I got to know people from all over the world besides Americans, I learnt a foreign language and I traveled to many different places in the USA. It was also a hard time because I was away from my home, family and friends for a year and I missed them a lot.

Were you a good student at school? Were you a rebel when you were a teenager?
I was a good student, however less than I could have been. We just realize that too late later in life. I learned with two of my school friends how to be organized and I thank them for that whenever I remember.
I was not a rebel, but I had my thoughts, my opinion about stuff. I liked to put that clear, I was very talkative, always a leader on school debates. My mom says I was an adorable teenager and she wishes all teens were like me.

Tell us a funny story about you when you were a teenager or about your experience of being a teacher.
When I was a teen, at 11th grade, I was writing a flerting note to a cute friend of mine when the fan wind took it off from my desk to the floor. I got so desperate just to think about someone else reading my note that I reached far for the paper and ended up falling from the chair. People had been very quiet by then and got scared when they heard such a noise. They all got question mark faces from that.
