ION CREANGA STUDENTS - Alexandra Paun

Alexandra Paun is fire! :)) A bit like me, getting in everything - not always finishing in time what she started :)) - but definetly involved and present, making a statement and making a difference.

I saw her evolve from an ethusiastic student, to a passionate learner of Japanese, then I-GO, then member of Save the Children Romania, then Japanese Language Guide and Interpreter and in the end - a wonderfull human being. I am probably too indulgent with my praise, you might think, but I know what I KNOW.


With her classemate and friend Alina Radulescu she was participating in JRP - Peace Summit Japan and she was the one to win, altough Alina's essey was as good as her - jsut different and she was representing Ion Creanga High-School in Japan. Moreover, she ended up and she did with great pose represent Romania, as the Summit was related that year with AICHI Mondial Expo.

Then she russhed help the I-GO movement, again with Alina in schools arpund Bucharest and in between she made a good impression at the Mondial Conference of Postal Service held in Romania (as part of a team sent to interpret and assist the Japanese delegation) and she passed a little the entrance examination at Bucharest University - Japanese Department.

Oh, many speech contest participations - I will try and find out - how many :)), started Spanish and translation for medical websites, and now she is so into Koreean ...LOL Go girl!

Oh, did I metion she was also in Japanese Theatre Group in high-school performing in the Japanese version of `LA MEDELENI`?? :))
