Kalle - In His Own Words
Hello everyone! I'm Kalle, 16-year-old and an exchange student from Essen, Germany.
Football has always been a passion, not just as a player but also as a trainer. For the past year, I've been coaching football for a team of seven-year-olds in Germany, which has taught me a lot about teamwork, leadership, and the importance of hard work. Apart from football, I like playing chess because it challenges my mind and I just love the complexity of some moves and positions. Since my brother got me into the gym I go regularly to stay fit and healthy.
Language is another area where I’ve put in some effort. I’m fluent in German and English, and I can speak a bit of Spanish and I have learned Latin as well. I have learned these languages because it's fun and useful, especially as an exchange student. Being an exchange student has been an exciting opportunity for me. I like exploring new cultures, learn new things, and grow both personally and academically.
