Lucy's Bio

Hola, hello, shalom, and bonjour! I am Lucia Berezovsky. As you can see, I speak four languages. Two of them fluently, one of them almost!, and the other one learning still. A young, free-spirited 16 year old originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I am currently living in Altamonte Springs, in Florida. The past five years have been a beautiful challenge in which I had to learn, grow, and adapt to a new culture and a new way of being. My parents own a restaurant of Argentinean and Mediterranean cuisine, my older brother is 18. His name is Javier, and is now studying computer science. As for my little brother, Julian, he is 14 and attending Teague Middle School. My family always supports me and is a very big influence in everything I do in my life. They take opinion on what they believe is right for me and we are very close.

I am very adventurous. I love the feeling of trying new things, meeting new people, and pushing myself towards that extra step. To me, adapting and seeing the world and culture out there is a very big event in my life. I feel the need to explore and see with my own eyes to understand other peoples in the world.

About me, I love reading. I read more than I breathe! I am always carrying a book with me. If I’m not smiling or laughing it’s probably because you’ll see my nose buried in a page somewhere from a book. I am very outgoing and you can almost never find me home. I tend to enjoy the company of people and you can always find me with a friend or family by my side.

I like to believe that I have a very positive outlook on life. I tend to make the best even out of the worst situations. I can’t stand when the people whom I’m surrounded by are going through a tough moment, and I’m always lending out my shoulder for someone else to cry on.

This program will change my life. When I step into the plane I believe how I see things will change. The people who I will meet will most likely change the way that I view life. I’m truly looking forwards to this new experience in my life. Thank you, Rotary, for giving me this chance.
