Introduction from Alexandra Zinner

Dear Dorothea

To get an introduction of me as a person you have to know some details about my self. I am 21 years of age and I am called Alexandra. There is one significant thing you have to know about my appearance - I have red hair and brown eyes.

Since the day of my birth on the 19^th of February in 1985 I live in Lucerne. I am certain that the fact that on this 19^th of February was carnival in Lucerne is the cause of my enthusiasm and fascination for carnival – but of course any the carnival in Lucerne I do like.

I am the result of a mixture from diffrent Germaine speaking courtiers of Europe, because I am not only Swiss I am also Austrian, what I am very proud of. My father’s family went after the Second World War to Switzerland and my great-grandmother went first from Bavaria to Austria. So through my vein flows Germaine blood too.

I work as a primary school teacher and I do this job now for the second year after the teachers college.

You know now what my profession is but you might be interested to hear what I am doing during my leisure time. As I kind of summary I can tell you that I really like to dance. This is my favorite sport and I do it passionately. Since about three years I dance ballet, before I started to do gymnastics what I still do. As a child I always wanted to learn Rock n’ Roll because my cosine danced it, but unfortunately there was no Rock n’ Roll dancing for Kids, so I never learnt it.
