Hello, my name is Romina, but I prefer to be called Romi. I was born in Monterrey, Mexico and I currently live there. I’m 14 years old and my birthday is on May 31st. I have 2 little brothers that are 10 and 12 years old. I’m a swimmer, but I used to be a gymnast. I’ve done swimming since I was 2, but I left the sport 2 times and I did gymnastics 10 years. I have a pet hamster and his name is Gavi, just like the football player. My first language is Spanish, then English and I started learning German 3 years ago, but I wasn’t very fluent. I saw we got to learn French here which I kind of got excited.
This is my 1st year at Brookes Westshore, and honestly I’ve liked it a lot in here. There’s always something fun to do and people here are very nice and friendly. I have a lot of expectations but mainly my expectations are to make new friends from other countries, learn new cultures, practice my English, be more independent, learn and to have fun.
To be honest I don’t like to read at all, I find it very boring and sometimes I get very dizzy while I’m reading, but there’s and exception. I love to read informational books to learn about famous people, important events, wars, etc. I think that’s the only way people will see me reading a book and enjoying it.
Once I got here I got very excited about English because I love writing, that’s like my safe place, and the subject English is very much reading and writing, which I’m very interested in, but specially just the reading part. I’m very excited to practice my spelling, grammar and my public speaking since it’ll help me a lot for high school and for many things in the future,
