    On the other hand I see now how this might be rather odd application because of all my spellingerrors. I appologise for that and hope that you understand that writing fast can lead to wrong spelling… ;)

    They are very specific about the age requirements – probably due to child labor laws.

    I am 13 but i can fit in as a 15 year old. Is that ok?
