My parents live together and I have a sister who is married. I live alone in Maringa to study and work. Since they live in asmall town, I left home early to study and follow my objectives. My parents always trusted me and indicated the right way.

Rotary, I was an Interact member before College. I was the Outgoing Exchange Director of AIESEC in 2010. I workedin the Junior Enterprise of my course in 2011 and nowadays I am a teacher's aide in English and I participate of a Study Group of mycourse. In the Elementary and Middle School, I was awarded as the student that had fewer absences and best grades of all. In High School,I was recognized the third best student of all. In my private English course, I also received the best student award.

I love riding my motorcycle around the city on Sunday afternoons and watch Formula 1. I enjoy going to the cinema onweekends and travel on holidays. I like to read books and go out with my friends and I really appreciate to assemble puzzles. DuringElementary, Middle and High School, I have played soccer, volleyball, swimming, and basketball. However, soccer is certainly my passion. Istarted playing it when I was a child and until now it continues making part of my life. I started studying classical guitar when I was 9 yearsold and I took classes for 4 years and a half. I also learned to play popular songs. Nowadays, I usually play the guitar when I want to relaxand to have fun with my friends.

I believe this is a great opportunity not only for my professional career but also for my personal development. Since Ispent a year in Mexico sponsored by Rotary, I know the benefits an exchange brings to someone's life and how trustful Rotary is.

I study Trilingual Executive Secretariat; however, I don't intend to work in this field. I have been working with International Tradesince the 3rd year of college and I desire to direct my studies and my professional career through this way.

CanadaMiss Demeo, Rachel JApplicant: Country:Date of Birth:

Throughout my life, I have heard stories about how hard my family has worked to get where they are today. It was muchmore than the classic 'I walked up hill both waysâ€ sort of tales. Stories like how my great grandparents immigrated from Europe.

Interact, My school, J. Lloyd Secondary School, has provided me with countless opportunities to expand my horizonsand become a well-rounded person. I am currently in my third year of Interact, one year as media chair, and I am having an amazing time.This hasThroughout high school, I have attained Honour Role status since grade eight (last year there was no Honor Roll due to the CanadianTeacher's Union strike). To obtain this, you must have at least an eighty percent average with a high work ethic.

Growing up in the Kootenays, in British Columbia, Canada, I am surrounded by nature and in turn, my hobbies are aswell. These activities are hiking, alpine skiing, boating, swimming and camping as a family. Days when I'm not in school or working at I haveexperimented with various sports such as basketball, volleyball, and soccer. I have played soccer and volleyball on local teams and schoolteams up until my later years of high school where I only had time to pick up a game of basketball.

I recently heard about the Georgia Rotary Scholarship through a local Rotarian, Ray Masleck, while volunteering for myInteract club. After doing research on the scholarship and discussing it with my parents, to say I was excited is an understatement when theysaid "apply".

At this point, I am unsure but I am hoping my experiences from the Georgia Rotary Scholarship will help me decide this.

Rotary, Once a week I am doing volunteer work in a block with a lot of immigrants. I help kids with their homework. Ilike being a volunteer because it makes me feel like I make a difference, I have enclosed my volunteer certificate (and a translation). Atgraduate at my old school, a person from each class receives an honor, called 'Fjeldstedslegatetâ€. The honor shows you have been a greatpupil and friend all three years at the school.

Beyond going to school and making my homework, I like to be outside: to play golf, to ski or to be with my friends andfamily. As long as I have them to share my time with, I am enjoying it. I am nearly always busy, but sometimes I do need to unwind. Golf hasbeen a part of my life for a long time; I have been playing junior tournaments in Denmark for the last six years, and right now I am in 4,2 andnumber 13 on the official ranking. I do not want to be professional, but I like golf as my hobby. I like to listen to music and discover new artistand genres. This summer I was going to two festivals. For me festivals are the perfect way to spend my summer holiday, because I amtogether with my friends listening to all kinds of music.

Because I want to improve myself, academically as well as personally. I think it is better to go to another country tostudy, because it forces you to think along new lines. I want to challenge myself, and Georgia is the place where that is possible.

I have not decided what I want to work with when I am finished with my education yet, because I like to leave every possibilityopen. I like to study, and for that reason I know for sure that I want a long education at a university, maybe a PhD in something.

I have grown a deep interest in this area. Although I don't really practice sportsmuch, the sport I am the best at is probably swimming. When I first started to learn swimming, I was able to improve in my skills very quickly,and I naturally have agility, which also helps with this sport. The only musical instrument I really play, and one which I consider myself to begood at, are the drums. As with swimming, when I started to learn drums I found it very easy to improve my skills on this instrument, and Istill practice them everyday.

My main reason for applying for this scholarship is to get an opportunity to study in another country. I believe that othercountries give people a much higher chance of having good college and university studies, thusly helping in getting a job.

First place in Science Fairs throughout High School, and this year I won first prize in a national competition of scienceprojects with entrepreneurial potential.

My main hobbies are video and card collection games. Through these games, I participate in communities, bothvirtual and in person. I have met a lot of my friends though these communities, and some of them are in different parts of the world. I used toplay basketball in middle school, although I do not play as often now.

I admire the american way of life, specially the safety and the opportunities available. I would love to have the chance toget to know the culture well. I love technology, and there is no better place to have access to the latest developments.

I would like to work for a company for a while, but then hopefully start my own business .

My family has always been really supportive towards me and my brothers. We have all been on an exchange year in highschool, and that is one of the biggest things I am grateful for. That my family trusted me and gave me independence to go abroad.

Rotary, While attending high school I was in the student council for two years. Me and couple of my friends have alsostarted a group called Estonian media analytics where we get together and discuss happenings in Estonian media.

When I am free from work and there is no school, my favourite place to go is our family's countryside house, whereyou can do different gardening household jobs, like chopping the wood for sauna etc. I also enjoy watching movies with my friends. I amreally keen on different outdoor activites, like jogging and cycling. Atleast 2 times per season i am participating in different cycling events,one is always an offroad race and is about 90 kms long and another is 130 kms long. I have learnt playing drums for two years in a privatemusic school. But unfortunately since the lack of independent practice and not having a personal drum kit its been atleast 4 years since i lastplayed drums.

From when I was an early teenager, I always wanted to travel around the world to see different countries, meet newpeople and learn about new cultures. And being on an exchange helps you to accomplish these goals the best way.

I am quite adept as a soccerplayer and often enjoy playing friendly matches with friends. Although I am not an expert in ping-pong and tennis, I love practicing thesesports. Sometimes I will toss a football or baseball with my dad and brother. I played the guitar for four years and the keyboard for two,performing on the guitar twice before my entire school and once with the piano in a small recital.

Theater and cinema plays an important role in my life.I have started acting during the high school(2003-). When Igraduated, I created a drama group.(2007-11). I learned contemporary dance, flamenco, photography, animation, cinema. Basically I loveactive lifestyle, I swam for more, than 7 years, in addition a I played volleyball.

My parents always help me achieving my goals, whatever efforts they need to make. I also have a brother and a sister, Iam the youngest. They are very caring and are my real role models, they always motivate me to fight for my dreams.

I am a member of AEGEE student organization at my university. We organize programs such as summer universityfor foreigners and also camps and meetings for the Hungarian members. I got to know many people and my organizer skills have beenimproved. In the elementary school I participated in many Maths (national champion in 1998 and 1999) and Grammar competitions. At theuniversity our team won a competition of Marketing last year. I am also proud of completing the half-marathon in 2:06:38.

Cooking and baking are my absolutely favorite activities (along with socializing, travelling and exercising). I often bakeshaped cakes for my friends and family: e.g. beer cake for my father or briefcase for my cosmopolitan sister. Running is my passion. I havealready completed the half marathon and now I am preparing for the marathon. Running makes me fully relaxed and teaches me how tobreak down my barriers. I used to play the flute in the elementary school for 2 years. I like listening to different types of music but I preferr'n'b, pop and retro music.

I have been to California and I also spent a high school year in England. I really enjoyed getting to know new people andnew cultures. I would like to continue to broaden my horizons and gain valuable experience both professionally and culturally.

My long-term goal is to be an entrepreneur like my mother but in the area of Commerce. After my education is completed I willwork at a company where I will be able to learn as much as I can to achieve my goal.

I am interested in all kinds of sports, but I actually play soccer, I swim and I took boxing lessonsfor 2 years. I don't play any musical instruments but I have a lot of friends who do. Music is taught in junior high school here in Italy so I havea good general knowledge and appreciation of music.

I want to learn about the U.S. but not just as a tourist. I'd like to meet people from different cultures that I can share mypassions with. I'd hope to learn a lot and I'd hope others could learn from me, too.

My family is my most important asset and nr1 priority. My mother sacrificed her personal life in order to be able to providefor me and my grandmother totally dedicated her existance to educating and development of my personality.

Rotary, Since the age of 15 I became part of Rotary family by being member of Interact Chisinau,then enjoyedRotaract membership in Moldova,France and Hungary. Often,I take part in AIESEC work shops. Also, I am member of the Student Union ofmy college. I have several awards in French language proficiency. Twice in the past 3 years I was rated in the top 10students in myuniversity. I have a special award for representation of Interact Chisinau at District 2241 Interact Conference in Resita, 2009.

I enjoy spending time with friends and new people,reading psychological and philosophical books,practice the foreignlanguages I learned,visiting galleries and antique shops,travelling and taking pictures. Since early childhood I am practicing all sort ofdancing:ballet,latino,hip hop,modern,etc and performing on stage. Lately,jogging and swimming became another passion of mine. Also,I liketrying myself in new sports,including the extreme ones. At the age of 14-15 I was singing in folklore and pop music bands,and performingwith them on stage. Unfortunatelly, the skills connected to musical instruments did not go much beyond the basic general educationacquired in secondary school.

I think that GRSP is an amazing opportunity for meeting positive and wise people,establish internationalnetworks,develop intercultural communication skills,discover American culture,represent Moldova on international level,widening lifeperspective.

My family have not only been very supportive of me in any endeavour I've embarked on, but instilled a sense that if I havean opportunity or a talent, then it is required I make the most of it and use it to the fullest extent, which I've always done.

I have been a member of my house (at school's) organising committee, United Nations Youth, the debating team, andcultural groups such as Stage Challenge and the student choir. In 2011 I won my school's Distinction award in Classics, & HighlyCommended awards in History & Science. I've so far achieved both NCEA Level 1 & 2 endorsed with excellence, and won a Bay of PlentyTimes "Kids of Sprit" Award.

I enjoy playing & watching sports, especially cricket, basketball, rugby, & football, with anyone, as well as reading &writing anything, walking, yoga, attending church & youth group, as well as having long conversations over a cup of tea or sushi. I've playedbasketball, cricket, and football (soccer), for the majority of my life, and also I have played some touch rugby, and, though I am able to play itreasonably, I'm not as proficient at Rugby Union. Though I've dabbled in piano, guitar, and the saxophone, I've never found playing themsomething I was passionate about, and as such never persevered in playing them. I've also been apart of the school choir, but stopped formuch the same reasons.

I had the pleasure of spending time at a university course in America this year, not only enjoying myself hugely, butlearning greatly from the vastly different environment & people, which I'd love to experience again for a longer time.

I have two main career intentions for my life, both of which I would love to accomplish. One is to be a writer & tertiarylecturer/professor in the C.S Lewis mould, and I'd also like to work in politics.

Rotaract, I have participated in many organizations including; drama club, choir and Duke of Edinburgh Award. I havebeen on the student council, partook in peer support training and was also a School Prefect and House Captain. I currently hold my BronzeDuke of Edinburgh award which consisted of going on two three day expeditions. I see this award as a real achievement as it was verychallenging. I have also received such awards as player of the tournament in Netball.

In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, reading, listening to music and spending time with friends. I also coordinateactivities for children in a local Youth Club. Recently, I began helping my father in his small business which is a lot of fun. Throughout schoolI was on the school netball team and have taken part in activities such as water polo and football. I attend the gym 3 times a week and Ireally enjoy exercising. Having grown up in a musical family, from a young age I learnt to play the flute and have recently started pianolessons. I have also taken part in school musical and drama productions and various choirs; one of which is in the Welsh language.

All three of my siblings were GRSP students! I have heard a lot about their experiences and even visited Georgia myself.To me GRSP is about bringing people of different nationalities together to experience different cultures and to meet new people.

My mum's passions for Horse riding and music joined with my dad's interest in History and archaeology have been keyfactors to my early life. Encouraging my independence, my close knit family have always supported my exploits as a young man.

Loving to talk I was chosen to be captain of our School debating team. In school I run the chess club as well as beingan almost constant member of our student council. Enjoying the outdoors I am currently completing my Duke of Edinburgh Gold award. InMounted Games I have been European Champion, National champion twice, and a 2nd and 3rd place at the Horse of the Year Show. Whilstriding for Wales I was presented with a Bronze medal by Prince Phillip at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

I love music and Drama, and so naturally act in school plays. Currently training as a stunt rider my hobby has becomemy job. Also enjoying being creative I often help my father with his work or design and forge metal work of my own. Horse riding to nationaland international levels in the Mounted Games has dominated my sporting career. I have also been kayaking and canoeing for the past sixyears and compete in javelin at a national level. Inspired by the likes of Bob Dylan, Cash and Springsteen I taught myself acoustic guitar in avain attempt to mask my less than angelic singing voice at our local open mic night.

I believe that the promotion of international goodwill is paramount in securing a peaceful future. I would seize thisopportunity to immerse myself into American culture and to experience the diversity of Rotary International would be sensational.

My family is a very outspoken group that has helped me to believe and gain confidence in myself. I have become a leaderthrough their encouragement and because of them i have grown to become the well cultured lady that i am today.

Interact, I am involved in many activities such as Interact, Christian Life Community, Youth Against Aids, CurrentAffairs, Creative Writers, Public Speaking, Debating and the Harare City Junior Council. These societies help broaden me express myselfclearly. I have received an award for Service to my school as well as honors for being a Prefect and for being voted in as the Harare CityCouncil Junior Deputy Mayor.

I am an active lady who enjoys going to church, community service, cooking, baking, playing rugby, jogging, listeningto music and singing my heart out during my leisure time. I am proficient in playing the game of rugby and i play the positions of hooker andfly half. I play the African drum and shakers at school sometimes. I am a member of all three choirs at school as i thoroughly enjoy and ampassionate about singing.

I am applying for the Georgia Rotary Student Program because i have always wanted to study in the United States andthis may give me a platform to do so. From the program i know that i will benefit educationally, culturally and socially.
