Ezgi's Bio

Merhaba (hi). I'm Ezgi Gültekin. I'm 16 years old. I'm from Denizli, Turkey. Many people don't know my city. But my city has a lot of beautiful places. We have 14 historical city, place, wonderful Travertines, and a lot of thermal springs in my city. My city's symbol is roosters. Denizli roosters crow harmoniously and for very long time.

I have a very little but lovely family. When I was 4 my mom and my dad divorced. I live with my mom. My mom is a Rotarian in my sponsor club. Also she is assistant governor in her district. She is very busy this year. I don't have any brother or sister. But I have very cute grandparents. They are living very close to my home. They are so excited about my exchange program. They are very happy for me but little sad because they are really missing me .

Now I'm living St. Johns County. It is so green but I like green :) My host brother Drake is living in Budapest. He is an exchange student too. I'm attending Creekside High school (Go Knights!). My school opened this year. It's new like me :)

My name's meaning is melody. My parents thought true. Because I love music and I play violin. In my free times I like listening to music, dancing, hanging out with my friends, watching movies, playing badminton ...

I'm really happy to be here. I'm still very excited. Thanks for everything :)
