Teodora
About Teodora
Teodora brings humor, warmth, and a very real “life happens” honesty—she even jokes, “I’m clumsy and gravity and I definitely have some unresolved beef.” At home, she enjoys a cozy, close‑knit routine built around family time, especially board games—“we are a BIT competitive”—and the everyday responsibilities she proudly handles to help keep things running smoothly. Her favorite downtime is creative and calming: painting, piano, singing, and getting lost in books, including her beloved Percy Jackson series (and she’s excited to finally find the missing volumes in the US). Swimming is a major part of her life and identity, and she has trained for years with steady commitment and pride.
Teodora’s teachers describe her as a natural leader. She pairs that drive with empathy and a genuine instinct to support others—her recommendation highlights her empathy, altruism, and sense of solidarity in everyday peer interactions. She takes pride in personal growth, including building confidence and pushing past comfort zones, and she names endurance as one of her strongest traits. Her mindset is practical and resilient: when something goes wrong, she focuses on learning rather than spiraling, using mistakes as fuel to improve.
As a host sibling and family member, Teodora contributes naturally—she genuinely likes the feeling of helping her parents come home to an orderly space. She would love to share everyday culture in a personal way—teaching a favorite board game and introducing Serbian traditions and foods. In the US, she’s excited for classic school and family moments—she specifically mentions wanting to experience Thanksgiving, prom, and other traditions—and she also hopes to join theatre to explore singing and acting.
