Shooting for the moon...
I am a German high-school-student and since my year abroad in the US (08/09), I am a pain-in-the-butt-optimist, enjoying life in every aspect. Generally open to everything, I love to experience the new and often take the path less traveled. The Land of good and plenty has affected me in many ways: I grew as a person, got to experience a new, yet wonderful way of live and acquired my (overly) optimistic attitude. After finishing my High School in July of this year, I am looking towards returning to the US (maybe after a gap year), because there simply is no way like the American way!
