Undergraduate / Auto-presentation for the internet Platform "work away" [4]

Hi there!
I'm going to go abroad after finishing school and for that I have to write something like an self introduction for the internet Plattform "work away". It does not have to be very formal but it should be correct in the use of language and grammar. I would be thankful for telling me about mistakes and other hints. :

self introduction for going abroad

"My name is Anna and I'm from Germany.
I'll be turning 18 in spring and shortly after I am going to take one's high-school diploma (A-levels).
In the future I want study therapeutic pedagogy for working with handicapped children.
But before that, I want to visit as many places as possible all over the world and get some more live experiences.

I love to travel, get to know other cultures and meet new people.
I'm an open-minded, friendly and uncomplicated person and not afraid of hard work.
Because of the early death of my father I've already learned to live on my own and assume responsibility since I was little. That's why I think my 18 Years won't become a problem.

I'm looking forward to get to know you!"
