Hello! My name is Nathaniel (Natey) Cook and by the Rotary Youth Exchange program I will be departing to Peru this next year. I am fifteen years old and attend Lincoln High School as a sophomore. I live in Tallahassee, Florida and live with my family at home. I live with my mom and dad but am still close with my brother and sister that have both left for college. There is also a dog and cat mixed in there somewhere as well. I have always been passionate about traveling and exploring, whether it has been with local trips with the family or mission trips with the church internationally. Some other passions of mine include the game of soccer. The sport I love (which I may or may not be good at) really shapes my schedule because I play on a traveling team and my schools’ team. Hanging out with my friends and family is also an important aspect in my busy life. When I first heard about this program, I was interested and wished to be a part of something huge like this. The idea of immersing oneself in another culture for a year is daring and awesome, and from then, I was motivated to do this with the support from my family and close friends. Now, with this whole experience in front of me, I am ecstatic, but definitely scared as well. I am jumbled with the fear of not comprehending the language, but I am also strengthened with confidence and support. In the final last words of this bio, I would like to thank Rotary for this thrilling opportunity, to which I gladly accept. |
