My name is Hlib, I am 16 years old and originally from Ukraine. Right now, I am living in Cyprus with my mom and our 9-year-old Pomeranian Spitz. I also have a grandmother who lives in Ukraine, along with her two Pomeranians and a cat, whom I helped care for during my recent visit. We enjoy spending time together in many ways: walking around the city, exploring other towns on the island, and following our Sunday tradition of sitting in a café together, drinking coffee and talking about different topics. Nearly every evening, my mom and I go roller skating at a local park, which is one of our favorite ways to stay active and enjoy time together.

I would describe myself as optimistic, hardworking, and adaptable. I can easily express my opinion, and I am cheerful, loyal, and trustworthy. Sometimes I may be outgoing, but I can also overthink things or be a bit stubborn, and I may need time to adjust to new situations. These qualities have helped me stay dedicated to the things I care about whether it is my personal goals or supporting the people around me.

I have a wide range of interests and hobbies. I enjoy sports such as soccer, basketball, martial arts, swimming, roller skating, and cycling across the city. I also love playing story-based computer games, especially The Last of Us series, reading horror stories occasionally, listening to music, watching movies, and discussing them with friends and family. I really enjoy traveling and discovering new cultures, meeting new people, and experiencing local traditions. Some of my favorite foods include sushi, tacos, pizza, steaks, and chicken fillet. My favorite holidays are New Year, for the feeling of setting goals and celebrating with loved ones, and summer holidays, as they give me the chance to travel and explore the world.

Through this experience, I hope to improve my English by meeting native speakers, learning about their culture, attending school, participating in family traditions, and meeting many new people. My daily routine at home is balanced: I wake up, make breakfast, attend school, go for walks, spend time with my family and pets, exercise at the gym, or roller skate in the evening. I help with household chores, including vacuuming, loading and unloading the dishwasher, taking care of pets, watering plants, and sometimes cooking for the family. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my family, while also balancing indoor activities like gaming, reading, or watching movies. I am eager to grow personally, become more independent, and make lasting memories through this experience.
