My name is Felikss Gavars. I am 20 years old and come from Riga, Latvia. I am a freshman at St. Lawrence university, without having my major or minors declared yet, since I am exploring my interests. I speak Latvian, as my first language, English, and can also hold a conversation in Russian. I would consider myself an outgoing and friendly person.
I was raised in a, relatively, big family of 2 brothers and a sister. My older brother, Mikus, is 32 and has his own family already, while my younger brother and sister, Francis and Marlena, are twins. They are 17. I also have a dog (white lab) named Fosters, who is 7. My whole family are doctors. My mother is a gynaecologist, whilst my brother and father both work in the field of pathology.
Athletics is a massive part of my identity as well as my family's. I play hockey and have been given the opportunity to play for the Division I hockey team here at SLU. Hockey has given me almost everything I have ever wanted. Education, amazing experiences, and, most importantly, my best friends. I went to high school (South Kent School) in South Kent, Connecticut to play hockey for the prep team there and pursue my dream of playing collegiate level hockey. After 4 years of high school, I played a year of junior hockey in Fargo, North Dakota, which then led me to now being here at St. Lawrence. Besides hockey I also love golf. My siblings and I have played golf for most of our lives. We find it a great way for us to bond as brothers and sister.
Mani sauc Fēlikss Gavars. Man ir 20 gadi un dzīvoju Rīgā, Latvijā. Esmu pirmā gada skolēns St. Lawrence Universitātē, un nēesmu vēl izlēmis, ko macīties. Es runāju trīs valodās: Latviešu, Angļu, un varu arī noturēt sarunu Krievu valodā. Es uzskatu, ka esmu voegli ejoša un draudzīga persona.
Es uzaugu, salīdzinoši, lielā ģimenē ar 2 brāļiem un māsu. Manam vecākajam brālim Mikum ir 32 gani un jau pašam sav ģimene, kamēr mani jaunākie brālis un māsa ir dvīņi. Viņiem ir 17 gadi. Man ir arī suns (balts labradors) Fosters, kuram ir 7 gadi. Visa mana ģimene ir ārsti. Mana mamma ir ginekologs, kamēr mans lielais brālis ar tēti ir laboranti.
Sportam ir liela nozīme manā dzivē. Es spēlēju hokeju, un emu guavas lieu iespēju spēlēt SLU pirmās divīzijas hokeja komandā. Hokejs man dzīvē ir devis gandrīz visu. Izglītību, lieliskas dzīves pieredzes, un, pats svarīgākais, manus labākos draugus. Es pabeidzu vidusskolu (South Kent Skola) South Kentā, Konektikutā, lai spēlētu hokeju šīs skolas komāndā, un tiektos uz mērķi spēlēt koledžas hokeju. Pēc 4 gadiem vidusskolā, es devos spēlēt gadu junioru hokejā Fargo pilsētā, North Dakotā, kas man deva ceļazīmi uz St. Lawrences Universitāti. Bez hokeja, man ļoti patīk golfs. Es ar saviem brāļiem un māsu esam spēlējuši golfu visu, praktiski, visu mūsu dzivi. Mums tas ir lielisks veids kā satuvināties vienam ar otru.
