Terry's Bio

Bok, my name is Terry Cadet. I was born in Coral Springs Florida, and soon after I was born I moved to Haiti. I lived in Haiti till the age of nine when my mom, my sister, and I decided to move to Florida while my father stayed in Haiti. When I moved to Florida, I had to start the 4th grade. Although I barely spoke any English and was scared out of my mind when I went to school, I still managed to make friends and get good grades. Now I'm a sophomore attending Pompano Beach High School and I am having the best time of my life, and hopefully next year will be better. I can't wait to go to Croatia and spend a year there, it’s almost as if I'm dreaming and I never want to wake up. Today, I currently live with my mom, my aunt, and my cousins. My dad passed away in 2008. I have a huge family and when ever they aren't studying of working, we always go out together and have fun. Most of my cousins are much older I am, so it is very hard to hang out with them as much as I use to, but they are always watching over me and giving me good advice. Just to refresh your memory, I go to Pompano Beach high School. Pompano is a very fun and exciting school with terrific people and no school on Fridays. The only downside to going to Pompano is the rigorous work, Pompano is a very tough school but at the same time, FUN. I am a very outgoing person so during my free time, I play my guitar, study for my next test, hang out with friends, and last but not least, I eat. I am a very big eater and if I didn't have a fast metabolism, I would be overweight and unhealthy. Becoming an exchange student is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I just could not let pass, so i signed up for it. I really look forward to learning Croatian, meeting new people, and learning new cultures. Also I a love traveling so being able to live in a different country for a year will be very exciting. This year I plan to accomplish many things, such as learning a new language, opening up my mind to new things, and meeting new people. I want to become much more independent and mature during the period of time while I'll be away.
