The Rucker's, Fort Valley, GA

Hi my name is Debby and I live with my "American family", the Rucker’s in Fort Valley, GA. I want them to become the Host Family of the Month because I want to show them how much they mean to me and thank them for hosting me because they are just awesome!

I´m here for more than four month now and they made these month to the best ones so far. We already did so many things together and they made my biggest wish come true. I always wanted to go to the Musical "Annie" and last Month we went to Atlanta with the whole family to see it.

We will go camping soon and I´m so excited because I know it´s going to be lots of fun and it´ll never be boring with them.

Before I came to the U.S., I couldn’t imagine calling somebody else, beside my "real mum", mum but since my (host) brother asked me to call my host parents mum and dad  I knew I was wrong and it just feels good to do that because I feel more like being a part of the family. It feels good to say "Good night mom, good night dad" every night.

My family does so many things for me and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did and do.

I already learned so many things about the U.S. and I told them many things about German traditions. If I could I would say thank you for everyday I spend with them!

My mum, dad, and brother are not just a host family for me, they are my family and probably one of the best families a exchange student could get. I just love them so much.

Sincerely,
Debby Barner, Germany
