My Bio
Hello, my name is Marcello Lovreglio and I am from Brindisi, Italy. I have spent half of my life in Italy and half of it in the US. My mom is from the US so even as a little boy I learned English. With my dad being Italian and still having family living over there it has been great to go back every summer and visit. I have not forgotten the language or the culture. Growing up in Italy was wonderful but I am glad that I got to go to high school in America. I currently live in Gainesville, Florida and attend Buchholz High School, where I am the student body president. I have been involved with student council since my freshman year and it has completely changed my life. I have learned many valuable skills and have made tons of friends. Although student council keeps me very busy, I work whenever possible. Having a job as a teenager is very important because it allows you to manage your own spending and this is when you realize that money flies. I have always wanted to be a Rotary Youth Exchange student and am very excited to go to Peru next year. In my year in Peru I want to become the real me and truly mature enough to discover myself. I am sure that when I am away I will learn many valuable skills that I will take back to America with me, such as learning Spanish. My number one goal is to become a better me and a well rounded individual over all.
