A Brief Testimony:
I was born in
Oradea but my home-town is Salonta. When I was younger I remember
asking my parents to buy me a piano... not just a keyboard ... but a
large piano so I could learn to play. My main reason at that time was
that I have long fingers. Now, when I thinking about it, makes me
laugh.
I didn’t go to a
music school as
expected, but when I was in the fifth grade I had the opportunity to
attend the computer class. Since then I was passionate about two
things: Computers and English. Later on, I had to choose beetween
these two and I decided to improve my English and went to language
class in high school. From the ninth grade I had the same English
teacher as before, so this helped me a lot. After high school, I
turned back to computers and studied boookeeping for two years. Now,
working with computers makes me think that somehow my wish came true,
I have a keyboard!
Family Details
I live with
my mother and sister. My father died when I was 15. I also keep in
touch with some cousins. It was 2008 when God made my family much
larger by giving me many brothers and sisters in Christ.
Interests/Hobbies
Besides English
and computers, I like talking to people and listening to their life
experiences or problems.
Working
with Smiles
I found the
Smiles
Romanian
website
in 2008 just by looking for a picture with a gypsy
kid. I saw the website and made the decision to change it, so I called
the office and told them about it. They agreed and since 2008 we are a
team making smiles in Romania.
As it’s impossible to make a website without knowing the work of the
others involved I started visiting Smiles projects and trust me you
can not stand aside. So, at first it was Wheelchair tennis project and
Tileagd Complex and now it is Gepiu Community Centre
where I am also involved.
Hopes/Dreams for the future
Another thing I like is seeing new places and taking pictures. That’s
why one of my dreams is to take a picture of The Tower Bridge in
London. I am sure I will not stop at only one!! |
