Hi, my name is Viktória. I am a foreign exchange student from Slovakia, which is a small state in the middle of  Europe. Currently, I am a junior, and I will spend one semester at SHS. In my home country, I dance folklore dances and play the piano. I love going outside, hiking, reading books, and listening to good music. Even though it sounds basic – dancing, writing, and traveling are truly my favorite things to do.

My belief is that you should overcome your fear of failure and try new things with enthusiasm. Maybe that is a part of the reason why I am an exchange student and why I’ve decided to write for the newspaper. I’m very excited for this opportunity to be here and to experience an American high school. It’s a great way for me to get to know a new culture and a new world. I also believe that if you want to change the world, you have to start with yourself. So let’s not procrastinate and start today.
