Hello world, I'm Matei

Back when I was 13 I had this dream (I still have it). In 2008, when my sister was 17 she left to study 1-school-year in a local high school in the USA in homestay family. I also wanted to do the same thing, but since I'm a bit more brave and courageous than her, I wanted to do it when I was 14. But since I was so young I needed to have my principal's approval, she didn't approve for me to go 1-school-year in an "all-American" high school. She only approved for me to go 3 months in a Canadian school. It was an amazing experience, the best of my life. Even though I still had the chance to go 3 months to Canada, I still regret that I hadn't waited more time in order to go 1 year in the USA. So, with some luck, I have found a way to study one more year after I finish my school here in Spain.
