My name is Ellen de Jong and I am sixteen years old. I live in Driehuizen, which is a small village in The Netherlands. I am in secondary school and I also have a part-time job. I work as a waitress in a restaurant in our neighbourhood. I really like that work and sometimes I meet foreign people there too. They tell me about their own countries and cultures and it's so interesting. I have become eager to learn more, so I would really like to write with someone from another country.
