"I hope to achieve my main goals. I’d love to finish my first degree in Photography in Barcelona and to apply for a Master’s programme somewhere abroad. Concerning my character, I’d like to grow up more and to become more open-minded. I am actually both a very open-minded and optimistic person but I’d love to be even more open for this world and people."3 of 10

“I have a dream to learn snowboarding. I tried it last year and I loved it! So I would like to improve a lot. I hope to see my friends more often next year, to go out more often and to work less. Party more and enjoy my life as much as it is possible! Hope to finish my Master’s as well. And yes, I would be happy to change something about myself: I want to worry less about life and future. To sum up, I hope to be more relaxed person next year.”9 of 10
