For my first blog entry, I figured I’d introduce myself.

First of all, I’m a Norwegian teenager in my second year of high school, but I’m also a sister and a daughter. The picture above is of me, my mother and my brother in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I love to travel and explore the world, but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to leave Europe.

My brother and I aren’t really close, but every once in a while we have these really nice moments together, like yesterday when I left a small bowl of Daim chocolates next to a cute little note for him. The note started «Dear Nusse» (Nusse is a nickname I have for my brother), and I continued telling him how proud I am of him and that he deserved a small treat, even though it was on a Monday. 😬

In English class this year I want to follow the election in the US and I want to learn about different issues the world is facing today.
I am curious about what’s happening in other places in the world, not only what’s going on in my tiny nation.

To be successful in school I need my teachers to guide me, which means showing me what I’m doing right, but also what I’m doing wrong. I also need a little understanding from my teachers as I am extremely shy and terrified of speaking in front of the entire class.

I figured I would end my first entry by telling you a little bit about my personal hero, my cousin, Sara. Sara is four years older than me and we have always been close. Two years ago she went to Australia to go to a Bible school and travel the world as a missionary. Then about half a year ago she came home and now she’s studying to become a teacher in Oslo.

Hope you enjoyed learning a little bit more about me. ❤
