Meet New Classmates

Niklas Kroeger by Olga Golysheva I had a chance to interview one of my classmates whose name is Niklas Kroeger. Also, he is the only man in our group. Niklas is a very nice and interesting person, so I would like to share this interview with my classmates. Niklas is 21 years old. He was born in a German city and lived there for 20 years. At 20 years of age he moved to Munich to study. Niklas decided to be a lawyer and he is doing a law course in one of the oldest universities (LMU) of Germany. When I asked him, “Why did you come to Florida to University of Miami?” he answered, “I have been to Florida before for a few times to improve my English and I have met friends here. I have good memories about this place and decided to come again. I like my new class. Everybody is nice and I’m glad to be here.” Niklas told me some interesting things about himself. As a real German he loves German beer and thinks that it’s the best beer in whole world. Also, he recommended the best bar in Munich (Thanks Niklas, I hope we will come). In our conversation he also pointed out that he likes sports like fighting (kind of Sambo). It was funny when I asked him about his favourite food. He said that he likes seafood, but from this time which he spent in Florida, it is cheeseballs that Christianne cooked. I wish to Niklas all the best and hope we will see each other in Munich.))))Russian Traveler by Niklas Kroeger

I have spent three weeks at IMG but I met a bunch of very interesting and nice people, which is why I would like to introduce you to one of them. Olga Golysheva is a 24-year-old girl who came from Krasnoyarsk, Russia to Florida on July 2010. She didn’t come just because of playing tennis in the sunshine state every day. No. She is here to support her 15- year-old brother Dimitry who is going to be a famous tennis professional. Olga has traveled a lot so she is familiar with America, Russia and Europe. She has a special connection to Japan because she studied to become an English-Japanese interpreter. She isn’t sure what’s going to happen in the future. Olga would like to do arts. But first she has another challange to face. Her boyfriend bought her a little French bulldog. The puppy is 3 months old and has a lot of things to learn. But that’s not a problem for Olga. Good luck!!!

Svetlana By Christianne Lima Svetlana Valerfevna Fomina (Khomutova) is from Moscow, Russia. She received her degree in history, is married and has three children. The eldest boy is studying in New York, the middle girl plays tennis and the youngest girl loves to dance. Svetlana has a great sensibility and loves classical literature. She always gets at the heart of the message in our reading and writing class. Traveling around is another passion since she was a child with an Alpinist father and the whole family around the Caucasian landscapes. Now Svetlana is enjoying the nice weather of Florida and having this great opportunity, with her family, to live and learn more from a new culture and this new experience.

Christianne By Sveltlana Fomina Christianne Baerlein dos Santos Lima is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Christianne loves Rio and can tell a lot of uncommon things about her city. This is a beautiful place where you can have the possibility of combining your work, your common life and your rest. Christianne likes to spend her free time on the beach; she likes the lagoon and forest. Chrristianne likes to meet her friends. She loves music and literature. She likes to read both classic and modern literature. One of her favorite writers is Clarice Lispector – a famous writer and a woman with a very interesting fate. Christianne knows a lot about contemporary literature from Brazil. Christianne considers reading literature as the way of perceiving, of gaining knowledge of ourselves and our life.
