Hello you all!

My name is Eidi Paas. I`m 16 years old and I am one of the Estonian group for Youth Leadership Program. We will spend almost 1 month in USA and learn about community engagement, leadership, diversity, civic responsibility, and human rights as well as many other sub-themes including social media, government, and environmental awareness. I`m so so nervous(in good way) and excited about all this. I have always loved travelling, but this time it is not just travelling. It is more like learning about new things, meeting new people with whom we can build lasting relationships and build an international community of friends from the United States. My expectations to "YLP" are definitely self-development, getting new experiences and meeting new people. This is an opportunity I am very happy about!

So I tell little about how I got into this program. First of all, I applied for a program to study in U.S for a year, but unfortunately I did not get there. I later received an email notifying me of the new program – YLP. And yes, of course I decided to try. I did everything I needed and soon I received an email saying that I was able to go through the interview round. Some weeks later I got phone call (I wasn`t able to do skype call) and the last thing was email where I got to know that I participate in this program. It was a moment where I was extremely happy. I did not believe that one dream would come true so soon. So my advice to everyone is that if you fail to succeed once then you have plenty of options to try again until you succeed.

And now some things about me :D
I live in town called Põltsamaa. It´s very small but lovely. I graduated from middle school this summer and next 3 years of high school I am going to live in Tartu. When I studied in our school (PÜG) I was member of our Student Council and our school 4H club. I love reading books and like handicrafts. I love to walk in nature and running as well.( At the moment, I do not really do much running) I was previously involved in dancing, speed skating, yoga and volleyball.

So, that is all for now. I will pack my last things together and after two days we will fly.
Soon you will hear more about my experiences and emotions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!




Have a nice day! :D

Hello guys from Bloomington! We've been here since Friday and for me it have been really awe some time to be in U.S. But lets start with Friday - we ate breakfast and learned some teamwork, individual things and packed our things. When the bus took us, we drove to Bloomington. It was really sad to leave because there was so many amazing people around you. But the knowledge that we are going to meet  our host-families, today, took over all emotions. Baltic States youth before meeting their host-families in Indiana University Now the next thing - host-families. New family for two weeks. We get their names on Friday and about 3 hours after that we met them. I were so exited because I didn't knew nothing about them. My and Agathe's host family: (left) Agathe, Carmen, Vanessa, Ryan, Carsyn and Ashlyn. On Friday we talked and got to know everyone. On Saturday we started day with garage sales, which was amazing and everything was so cheap. Why don't we ha...

Heey! My name is Kristina. I'm 16 years old. I'm from Kohtla-Jarve. I study at Ahtme Gymnasium. I love playing the guitar, reading, writing stories and meeting new people. I feel so happy and excited to go to the U.S. I have never participated in such kind of projects and to be honest I am a little bit nervous but I'm sure that it's going to be an awesome experience. At first, when I heard about this project I really wanted to try it but I wasn't sure if I should because it felt so unreal but my best friend persuaded me to try. So, after my application and a Skype inteview I got an email with my name in the list of other participants. I can't even describe how happy and proud I was. It was a dream come true to me. So, never be afraid of trying new things and always believe in yourself! So, I'm looking forward to this trip with our amazing, friendly, kind and funny team. We're glad to share our adventures with you!

Hello everyone out there, my name is Carmen Ceisy Lehter and I`m 15 years old, the youngest in Estonian group. I`m going to 9th grade at Tartu Karlova School . I'm so blessed to be here, in this living situation - in a few days, I am one of these young people who is going to the United States with the Youth Leadership Program . I can't wait for this experience and I need to admit that I'm a little bit nervous too, but in a good way. Now a little about me. I'm from Tartu, Estonia. It's like one of the biggest cities in Estonia, but now this is small for me and that's why I love this town. Here is everything I need and you can see a lot of nature here. But I moved here in 2017 (yeah, last year) and before I lived in a small "town" named Koeru, it's almost the heart of Estonia. Middle of Estonia. And there is nature everywhere, almost no traffic, no malls etc. And then me, a little country girl, moved to a big city. Yeah, firstly Tartu was...
