Testimonials

Zuzana Petrová

Thanks to the program I gained a lot of experiences and memories which substantially formed my personality. I became more confident, met many amazing people who I will never forget. My host family in particular is dear to my heart – I’ve always felt like their own daughter. My year at a high school in the US was one of the most beautiful years of my life. I improved my English, became a better athlete and a better person. Just applying for the GBE Foundation scholarship competition was a great challenge for me. I proved in the US to myself and to others that I can achieve more than I have ever dreamed of. The beginning was of course really hard but saying goodbye was even harder. If I could, I would enter the program again and again… :-)

Studying in US significantly increased my self-confidence and motivated me to pursue an academic degree at the university abroad… I’m really happy and proud to spread the great message further and help GBE going forward

Zuzana Sleziaková

Being born and raised in a small town, my year in the US thanks to GBE Foundation had a major impact on my life perspectives. Not only did it boost my confidence to go after my goals, but also helped me become independent and self-reliant. I can truly say that it was this very opportunity, that has had the most significant impact on my life up until now.
