Hello, my name is Marlies. I feel very grateful to have been chosen as the Dual Diploma Student of the month for May.
I was born and brought up in Austria, in a small village. Currently I am graduating at a highschool for tourism. After graduation, I will pursue a career as a confectioner.
I spend most of my free time at different communities. For example, I am part of the local firefighters at my hometown. Furthermore, I play the violin, ukulele and saxophone (where I play in a traditional band). Other hobbies I like to do are acting theater in a theater group, singing and reading. The most important part of my life is my family. My sister and my parents are everything to me.
I began this program because my English teacher introduced me to it. Especially the subjects Public Speaking and Journalism as well as Digital Photography had caught my eye. I love to include my creativity in my assignments. All in all, this program has been a wonderful experience. I not only got to meet new people but I was able to expand my knowledge and think outside the box.
