 Hi all.
I am Kristijonas Vasiliauskas from real Europe's
geographical center that is Lithuania. If you are reading this bio that means
that you are or gonna be my friend, Rotarian, past exchange student, or perhaps
future Rotary Youth Exchange student. Believe me and my words. To become a Rotary
Youth Exchange student is best thing that could possibly happen for you! So
don't be afraid to risk and take from life as much as you can! Believe me, you
wont regret! And I am saying this not only to future RYE (Rotary Youth Exchange)
students but to past, present, or future Rotarians and host families!
And now something about me. As I said in beginning I am
Kristijonas Vasiliauskas from the most coziest country in Europe called
Lithuania. Lithuania is one of the Baltic states between Poland and Latvia.
I was born in 1992 June 25 so that makes me 16 years old. I was born in
Lithuania's capital Vilnius. In 2009 Vilnius is Europe's capital of culture.
Back home I have a beautiful family witch contains 5
persons. My father Saulius, My mother Rita, my first brother Mikalojus (10
years old) and second brother Aistis/Salvijus (he is only 3 years old) . I
really miss them very much because I love my family very very much. But they
are doing good because they also have
Michelle, an exchange student
from Miami.
My hobbies are various kinds of arts like music,
paintings, theatre and dances. In Lithuania I often go with my family to
various kind of cultural events, concerts and performances.
My father Saulius is Rotarian from Saint Kristofer Rotary
club in Vilnius. He was the one that told me about RYE program. Big thanks
to him and all Saint Kristaforas Rotary club that are sponsoring me. I won't
disappoint you.
My mother is a part of another Charity club called Warm
Hearts Club. She with all other participants in that club makes events for
kids which don't have parents or are sick. I always was surrounded by very
good and kind people and there is old saying that you can say about person
from people that surrounds him.
The other important thing is that I am first exchange
student from Lithuania in Florida. So I am doing my best to make good
impression and relationships between Lithuania and Florida that other kids
from Lithuania could have same experience and emotions like me. And of
course Lithuania will always welcome inbound students from all world.
And for the last I wanted to thank to everyone for such a
opportunity to be here in America, in Florida. There is no such a word that
I can express my gratitude for all Rotarians for everything they have done
and are doing for me. For Webs family that are hosting me - I really love
them as my real parents. For Douglas Anderson School Of The Arts that they
let me study in their amazing school. This year Rotary's theme is to make
dreams real. They have already made all of my dreams and more to become
reality. Every day here is full of new experience, new emotions. Smile never
goes off my face. And that is only because of you all.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Kristijonas Vasiliauskas from Lithuania |
Kristijonas "Kris" Vasiliauskas
