"I eat a decent breakfast of fruits, tea and maybe a cookie. I usually don't eat alone for breakfast; instead, I enjoy it with my family. I typically pack a lunch of vegetables and rice pilaf. For dinner, I eat something low in calories, like vegetables with some meat."
"I live in a one-story home in the village of Corlateni. I am thankful to live away from loud noises and crowded roads."
"I take care of animals. We have chickens, pigeons and decorative fish. We also grow fruits and vegetables at home."
"My mother is a kindergarten teacher, and my dad currently works as a constructor [construction worker]."
"School starts at 8:00 am and usually finishes at 1:00 pm."
