Dear host family, My name is Faustine. I live with my parents, my brother and my dog, in a house in the South of France. My father is a logistics coordinator, my mother is an executive assistant and my older brother is a student. We're a very close family and I hope to become part of your family too. I help with daily chores like cleaning, shopping and looking after my dog. As for me, I'm in high school, I walk there every day, I'm very independent. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of living and working in the United States. This experience is a huge opportunity for me. To be able to discover your culture, your way of life and share them with you. To follow the American school curriculum in high school and play basketball because it's my passion I've been doing it for 3 years. I've been coaching an 8-year-old basketball team for a year now. I also like shopping, fashion, going out with my friends, travelling and enjoying life... I also need moments of solitude to listen to music, read and color. I'm an enthusiastic and determined girl, full of life, sociable and always positive. In the future, I'd like to work in administration and finance. My friends mean a lot to me, and I love spending time with them. I'd like to help you discover French cuisine by preparing delicious dishes. I'd like to share with you our traditions, French music and a few French words. Thank you for reading my letter, I sincerely hope to be part of your family and to live this wonderful experience by your side. All the best, Faustine.
