About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the best out of this summer in the US. Also to learn to use the force.

ABOUT ME

The first and foremost thing people notice about me is that I am a geek. Not the basement-dweller, antisocial nerd-type, but the kind who can get very enthusiastic about things. I am a nice dude, with a sense of humour. I am going to the University of Szeged in Hungary where I learn American Studies. That´s one of the reasons I spend my summer of 2012 working at a summer camp in Ashby MA. The other reasons are that this camp really makes a difference. They are helping at-risk youth to finish high-school and to get accepted to college. I really love kids (although I´m more experienced with the much younger age group, because my nephew is just 2 years old who I am the most with) and this camp is really something special. Even if I am not a counselor (I am the maintenance guy) but I developed a good relationship with a lot of them. At home I mostly trying to balance my studies and my social life. The last year was crazy, I got to know so many awesome people, made so many friends that my social life almost won over my studies:D Although I have many friend, there is one very special, my best friend, we spend a lot of time together and always find some adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't forget to bring a towel. (Not an actual quote, but the idea comes from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book series.)

Also I am greatly inspired by Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford commencement address, which you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc
