Dear host family,
I'm ooooo oooooo, 15 years old (when I stay abroad) and live in ooooo near Cologne, Germany.
My father works as a male nurse at the ambulance of a children hospital.
My mother is a deaconess employed by the protestant church in oooooo.
In addition she works as a religion teacher in a primary school.
I have one sister and two brothers. oooo is 18 years old and studies social work at the the Catholic University for Applied Science oooooo. oooo is 20 years old and becomes a glazier. ooooo is 19 years old and was growing up as a foster son. One year ago he left our family. I want to tell you, that I'm a very familiar person.
At the moment we have two guinea pigs and one rabbit, who live in a large hutch in our garden.
At the oo.oo.1997 I was born in ooooo. Up to my first year of life I have lived in a house next to my grand- and great grandparents at ooooo-ooooo. Because this house was too small for six persons, my parents have build a new house close to our previous home.
I visit 9th grade of the oooo-oooo( High School) in ooooo.
The school start's at 8:00 am and ends at 01:15 pm. On Wednesday and Thursday it ends later. My favorite subjects are Informatics, History and politics.
During my English lessons we learned something about the USA and I was fascinated.
So I went to the student exchange fair Jubi, seeked for an organization and found IE.
I was so happy when they accept me and now I am writing this letter and I really hope that I can realize my dream with your support.
Other people often describe me as a very helpful, trustful and friendly person.
I like it to help other people. If somebody asks me something. or needs help, I do my best to help him/her.
Other strenghts and characteristics of me are openess and adaptability. I like to talk with people and to get into contact with them.
My friends can tell me every secret and I never tell it anyone else.
All in all I'm a very honest person.
I like sports. During my free time I play tennis or do fitness training.
Sometimes I meet a friend to play tennis in addition to the regular training.
If the weather is good, I like to drive my wave board at the skate park.
In case it's not so nice I read newspapers, magazines, books or work with my computer.
During the summer holidays I learned windsurfing and got a certificate for it. Last summer I went with my brother to the French Atlantic coast for surfing. From time to time I was skiing during the winter holidays.
I want to stay abroad in the USA because I would like to get to know an other country with its culture and customs. Especially the American way of life and the American school spirit attracts me.
Also I would love to take part at some cultural festivals in your family like Thanksgiving ...
All in all I would appreciate to becoming a part of your Family and having a great year with you. I am sure we would have a lot of fun!
Yours sincerely
ooooo oooooooo
