Hello! I am Dmytro. I am 19. I study at the University in Rivne. I am in the second year. My family lives in Lutsk in one of the residential areas. My parents have two more kids besides me. Thus I have got an elder brother Olexandr and a younger sister Olha. She is 14. My brother is seven years my senior. So he is 26 already. He is a designer by profession. He is married. His wife is a doctor. They are four in the family. They have two children – a son and a daughter. They are twins. My father is an architect and my mother is a teacher. They are of the same age, they are 48. As I have already told I am a student. My life has completely changed. Every day I have to make an early start, so I am up most mornings by 6 and do morning exercises or go out for a morning run. After this I like to take a cold shower, then I have my breakfast and leave for the University. It takes me ten minutes to walk to the University. I usually stay there long and come home in the afternoon. I would say I am not a person who likes wasting time. In four years I shall graduate from the University. To be a good specialist it is necessary to study hard. I like to do my homework, read books on history and science fiction. I go in for sports. Twice a week I play football.
