Students from

Comenius-project
Youth Between Dreams
and Reality
Hello!
My name is Sonja Koskelainen and I’m 16 years old. I live in
Lappeenranta, Finland and I’m an upper secondary school
student. My family consists of my mum, dad and 3 sisters. I’m the
youngest in my family.
In school my favourite subjects are English, music, art and
psychology.
I enjoy music a lot and I like singing and playing piano. I’ve been
taking singing lessons for almost 5 years now. I also listen to music
pretty much. I like many types of music but my favourite types are
probably rock and metal. Pop is okay too. I have many favourite
bands such as Muse, Shinedown and Disturbed.
I have many other interests in addition to music. I like drawing,
travelling and reading too. I also like watching TV and movies. I
can’t even list my favourite movies because there are so many of
them but my favourite TV series are Doctor Who and Sherlock.
I consider myself quite cheerful and I smile quite a lot. (:

Hi! I’m Sara, 16 years old girl who loves
music, pandas, caffeine, tattoos and
old movies. My favorite subjects are
psychology, english , art and history,
math makes me cry.
On my freetime I photograph, listen to
an unhealthy amount of music, write,
draw a bit, keep an Lego- club-thing for
kids with my friend, read and sleep
way, way too little because I’m at my
most creative mode in the middle of the
night.
My taste in music is pretty varied: my
one true love is rock, but punk, folk,
alternative and grunge have a special
place in my heart too. Really anything
that sounds good sounds good and is
worth listening.
I’m social and calm, and it takes time to
understand me. I can be pretty
confusing with all the hand gestures and
facial expressions.
Looking forward to get to know you all!
Jenni Ojala
Hi!
I’m 17-years-old girl and study for first year in
our school. I like it a lot, my favorite subjects
are math, psychology, natural science,
history, etc. and everything computerrelated, because I’m such a great nerd.
I live alone, or actually with my supercute cat
called Allu. We have moved from my home
city(about 300 km away from here) to
Lappeenranta at autumn, 2012, because my
old city sucks .
I love to play, usually with computer but I like
board games too. Also I make layouts for
websites and do some other nerdie things,
like coding. And if I have some time left I
usually spend it by watching hilarious guys
on Youtube or stalking my friends on
Facebook.
