MY FAMILY

We are four members in our family. My younger brother, my two parents and I.My mother owns a pharmacy and my father is a chemist at the University of Crete.When I have a problem, I prefer to confide in my mother because my father does not pay so much attention to me.However,I love both of them as they provide me with all the necessary assets in order to gradually build my future.
We all have strong bonds and willingly help each other through our difficult moments.

Are you a student or a worker?

Much like Mike I am student, although I am studying on the field of Chemistry. Chemistry has always been an interest of mine and so I decided to deepen my knowledge of it. I am currently on my fourth semester out of a total of 8 and, to be honest, I just started to really understand how interrelated our vast world and Chemistry are. Along with my studies, at the moment I am juggling my English lessons and a kind of job where I am responsible for making chemical compounds that are later going to be used at chemistry laboratories; a job that not only requires a great deal of concentration, but it will also dramatically boost my future resume.

Do you study or work?

I don't work, but I am currently studying physics. In fact, I have finished all my obligatory courses and now I am occupied with finishing my thesis, although it is not necessary in acquiring my degree. The first reason I am doing it is because the next year I want to continue my studies in electrical engineering, in a postgraduate level, in the USA; therefore, having obtained a thesis on a similar subject will boost my chances of me being accepted in a prestigious university. The other reason is that I want to enhance my knowledge in physics and get a glimpse of what is happening today at the forefront of science.

Speaking: School

There are many things that should be mentioned about my school.First of all, the building consists of many different classrooms. In each and every one of these classrooms there is an inspiring environment with posters on the walls and interactive whiteboards.Another thing is that there is a laboratory in which we conduct many experiments concerning physics and chemistry.Moreover, there is a computer room with high-tech equipment which makes the lessons much more enjoyable.Last but not least, there is a multipurpose room where a variety of school events take place in.

Speaking Part 1: Hobbies

Unfortunately, I have limited free time , but when I have, I hang out with my friends. I also love spending time indoors with my family . Moreover, I use my free time to develop my skills in playing volleyball so that I can be a better player . I am also fond of cooking; more specifically, I enjoy preparing different types of food . Last but not least, I adore gardening. I plant flowers and vegetables and I maintain my garden by watering it and using environmental - friendly  fertilizer. I think I am lucky enough to have the so-called 'green thumb'!

My hobbies

There are lots of things I like to do in my spare time. What I enjoy most is hanging out with friends, or going to the city centre. At the weekend, we play basketball or volleyball and most of the times we play tichu, our favourite card game.When at home, I enjoy surfing the net and chatting with friends on Facebook while listening to club music. Interestingly enough, I have recently got into drawing and, whenever I see something that inspires me, I draw it in my notebook.
