Letter for my future Host Family
Dear Host Family,
As a dynamic individual, I take pride in my role as the class president and my contribution to the school newspaper. Additionally, I am a basketball player, part of a team in which I’ve made lots of friends. When not on the court,
I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, playing videogames, chess, and cheering on the Lakers, even if most of the games are past midnight so I’m not able to watch every one. Back here, I often find pleasure in cooking pasta dishes for myself and my sister for lunch when I come home from school.
I like watching soccer matches, sharing these moments with my dad and occasionally witnessing the excitement live from the stadium. I love watching movies and tv series whenever I have some free time. Beyond my studies, I invest time in language learning, dedicating two hours weekly to both Spanish and English. Traveling is another cherished aspect of my life, and I have been fortunate to explore beautiful destinations. Although my childhood memories of Los Angeles are fainted because when I visited I was only 7 years old, I am eager to rediscover the city and explore new destinations. Embarking on this exciting adventure, I am thrilled at the prospect of embracing a new way of life and forging connections within your warm and welcoming home.
I am genuinely enthusiastic about the opportunity to meet and live with you, as well as making lasting friendships in this unique environment.
Warm regards
