Hey, it's me again!

When first posts was about fun things and stuff, then this will talk about, why we're actually here. We came here to learn for leaders. And our program in Bloomington started on Monday, July 23th. We get to know about company, which is renovating buildings in Bloomington, we looked around in downtown and the library. On Monday and during the week we had a lot sessions, we played games and learned a lot.

Like on Wednesday we learned about Youth Participatory Action Research. I'm not gonna talk about, what it is, but the name is interesting and when you want to know, feel free to ask!

On Thursday we were at Kelly School of Business. We had a lot interesting and similar sessions, but I am suprised that in every session, I found something new and all information is really useful in the future and now. Something what we talked - where do breaktrough ideas come from, how to do pitch etc.

Also we had independent lunches. We're here and we want to try and learn a lot of things, so we are - at least I am -, being open-minded to try new things. In this week we ate in BuffaLouise, Samira and we had (I'm not sure) Indians food. It may depend, because all our group wasn't eating together all the time.

On Friday we went to the local government.

One thing what I want to tell is, this week was "Hüppelaud 2018" in Estonia. I were there last year and it was really good and meaningful experience for me. Because that's why I am here right now.

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...
