Vlad Gavrila

Greetings

Cheers! I'm Vlad Gavrila (a.k.a. branix), almost 18 years old, living in Brasov, Romania (near the castle of Dracula).

I'm a student in the 12^th grade of 'Andrei Saguna' National College, a very fascinating highschool, with great learning tradition and results, celebrating his 150^th Anniversary this year!

The profile of my form is bilingual English so we have 5 English classes every week and other 2 classes of USA and England's history.

ThinkQuest

I would like to thank the original developers of the ThinkQuest Challenge for their ideea of creting this contest, and the current members of Advenced Network & Services for the quality of their services.

Still there are some persons to be thanked (involved in the ThinkQuest Challenge) the Judges: I hope we will be chosen as winners of this year!

Opportunities: ThinkQuest has allowed me to make contact with people same age as me, from other cultures: Jo and Amanda you are a great team!

A bit more about Myself

I have a wonderfull family, a dog ('Puppy' is his name), no brothers or sisters, and we moved into Brasov 4 years ago. I love living here because in the winter I go skiing not far away (15 kilometers) and in the summer the temperature is a little bit lower. In my spare time I go rollerblading with my friends, listen to music and working at my computer (I always find something to do).

My hobbies: rollerblading, computers, rave/house/rock music.

Special Thanks

This section goes to: Amanda & Jo (you were great!), ThinkQuest (as I said before: for the opportunity), my parents (who allow me now to sit with my hands on the keyboard at this late hour), and my girlfriend (thank you for having the patience to wait every time I was late this last two weeks!)

Thanks!
