Dear Host Family, Thank you so much for being willing to participate in the exchange program. I appreciate your decision to accepting me to live with you for one year. I am a german boy and live in a village in the near of a big city in Germany. I want to speak english fluenty and chose the USA to learn it. I always found the life and culture of the USA interesting and want to experience the everyday life there on a high school. Since I was 5 years old I play soccer in a club and for almost 5 years in a club based on performance. When I am not going to have a game on the weekend or training in the week I am watching soccer on TV. I especially like to visit my club in the stadium to support them because I am a big fan. Also I am going to the fitness studio three times in a week. Sometimes I meet my friends on the weekend or make my homework if I have to do so. Sometimes in winter I went skiing with my family. Overall I am a very sportive person and I want to play soccer in that exchange year so much. I speak german as my native language, good english and a little bit french and visit a half day school. My plans for the future are first to do that exchange year that were an important point of my life. Then I want to make my high school diplom and go studying. I am so excited to learn about the culture in the USA and become a part of your family for that exchange year. Warm Regards, Yannick
