My name is Hariz Alihodžić. I was born on 10 March 1997 in Tuzla, which is also known as Salt City. I live with my family: mum, dad and my younger brother who is 5 years old. I’m going to nursing school and I hope to be like my father, who is a doctor.

I play basketball for 8 years in basketball team "Salinas Falcons" from Tuzla. I love to watch basketball games on TV and my favorite club is Miami Heat. I often go to basketball games in town. In spare time I play my guitar, and I used to write songs when I was younger.

I’m a friendly person so I have many friends. They say I’m talkative, optimistic, tolerant and helpful, but sometimes very annoying, too. However, the most important persons in my life are my parents. They are my support in everything I do. 

I think I'm a teenager who is still working on building his personality. I have my own opinion and attitude for everything, but I can always accept a good advice.

I was hardly seven when I was admitted to a primary school. The memory of my first day is still fresh in my mind.

My mom took me to school which was a big yellow building. While I was walking to my classroom I was more and more excited. I entered in the classroom and I was very surprised when I saw so many children. All took their seats, and there was only one chair free. I sat next to a boy named Ahmed, who is now my best friend.

When bell rang our teacher started talking to us. She was very gentle and treated me kindly. I felt a bit nervous in a new environment as the other boys looked at me with strong looks. I had with me the primary book and got my first lesson in alphabet.

I remember we had only 2 classes. In first we got a lesson in alphabet. Second class was drawing-class. I draw my school, teacher and friends.

While I was painting my school in yellow, the bell rang and it was the sign to go home. All the kids were happy. So was I. I took my small bag and hurried back to my house.

 As I approach the island on which is my dream house, I catch a quick glimpse of it. It is huge, and is the most noticeable building in the area. My private plane lands on the airstrip near the house.
