Natascha from Denmark

"Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." – Dolly Parton.

My name is Natascha, I’m 18 years old and I come from Denmark. I have always been very privileged to live in Denmark. I have always been able to go to school for free, and when I turned 18, I got money from the state just to go to school. Since I was a little girl, I have seen Denmark as a rich country, where there was enough room for everyone: rich or poor. And then when I grew up, I see that, it was true but I realized that not everyone in the world is as lucky as me to live in a rich country, where you can always get some help from the state. When, I have realized that, I have also found my dream. My dream is to make a difference in those countries that aren't that lucky. I think, no, I know, that my purpose in life is to help others. And by helping the others I’m also helping myself. I am still young and I still don’t know who I am. By getting this education, I hope to find myself, and found out more about other countries and other cultures. The reason why I chose DNS, was because my dad was once a student in Tvind, and he thought that this would be a good idea for me to visit the school. When I saw the school for the first time, it was almost empty, but still there was a lot of life and a lot of love at that place. The feeling I got when I saw the school was incredible. After just a few hours, I was sure: This is what I want to do. And I can’t wait to start at the school, and meet all of the students and teachers.
