I'm interested in studying foreign language, and therefore studied in Germany to better my German. I can also speak some Spanish, but since I've been in Germany my Spanish has gotten bad! I've even taken beginner's Russian in school in the former Russian occupied EAST Germany! And I chat online a ton. Myspace is great. I like music and even the Bob and Sheri morning show is great!
I love to travel and my itenerary is as follows:
Germany: September 07 - July 08 (foreign exchange)/
Austria and Switzerland: January 4, '08/
North Sea and Baltic Sea: May '08/
Denmark: May '08/

About me: I'm Adam. I'm from Jerusalem,Ohio. I was born in Gallopolis Ohio.
I spent my senior year of high school in Germany studying there at Philipp-Melanchthon-Gymnasium in Schmalkalden, Thüringen and the Jungmannschule in Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein. Like any teen, I enjoy watching TV, and also like to go to the theater and to go shopping in the mall. I chat a lot online, and I am not so addicted to myspace anymore. :-D I like listening to music and traveling with my family. I have a sister, Jill, and she's got a baby, Sydney Lane Price! I'm now officially "Uncle Adam." :-D I like to study foreign languages and I of course speak English, and have studied German, first hand, in Germany. I have studied Spanish for three years in High School (and plan to study a semester abroad in college too, and I have now also had a year of Russian class in former East Germany. I get good grades in school and am a proud graduate of the Barnesville High School class of 2008!
I was accepted to study at Ohio State University beginning in Newark and transfering to the main campus the second year, but I've decided to stay a bit closer to home and am starting at Ohio University's Eastern Campus on the 8th of September. Then I will transfer to the Ohio State University main campus in Columbus for my Sophomore year. My major will be German and Spanish Education. I'll be studying to become a High School teacher of German and Spanish as foreign languages! Then if I don't get a teaching job, I can always back that up with translating. Interpreters are always needed.
Of course I'll also try to fit more study abroad into my university experience. (Hopefully another semester in Germany, and a semester in Spain or some other Spanish speaking country!!!) I'm deffenately excited! I can't wait to begin college!
On the 11th of July came the bitter sweet end of my foreign exchange in Germany.
This year's really been a once in a lifetime experience, and I'll cherish it for the rest of my life! I'm so thankful for all the support from my parents that helped to make this year possible, and proud of myself for the hard work I've done to make it happen!
Who I'd like to meet: People from all over the world!
