My name is Marina, I am 9 years old and I was born on the 19/07/2009. My name comes from the Latin word “marinus” which means “ocean”. I have two older sisters. My parents and grandparents are from the Soviet Union. I am from Greece, that’s where I was born. I like Greece because of its very pretty islands and the ocean. That’s why blue is my favourite colour.

When I was 3 years old we moved to Germany. Learning the German language was easy for me and I did it quickly. At the age of 6 I attended a German-Greek Primary School, Homer Primary School, and when we moved I had to change school and now I am attending “Athene Primary School”. In all of this time I have met many friends. With my friends we often play catch, hide and seek or ‘Kontakto’.

In my leisure time, I enjoy drawing and listening to music. My favourite instrument is the guitar and one of my goals is to learn playing the guitar. Every Monday after school I go to drama and it’s a lot of fun. In the evening, my friend and I go to a sports club and on Thursdays I sing in a choir. Our teacher is very nice and he sings beautifully and teaches us many beautiful songs. On Saturdays I go dancing. That’s where we learn Greek dances. I enjoy spending time with my friends there and always learning something new.

I like nature and different plants for example roses. Besides, I like animals. My favourite animal is a peacock. I also like feeding animals in zoos. My dream job is to be a vet, so I can care for sick animals.
