My name is Rayssa, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Brazil. I am very communicative, and I love to talk, I have a good mood and I like to make people around me laugh. I'm very competitive, especially in sports, and I always try to give my best. I love sports in general, but my favorite is CrossFit. I know Americans are very serious regarding sports and I am ready to work on sports once in the USA. I am very excited to do CrossFit once in the USA as Americans are very good at it and I can`t wait to practice with the best. Of course, if I have a chance. But on the other hand, I am open to practice any sports in the USA while in the program. I live in a city in the state of São Paulo. it has a very hot climate. We have waterfalls, trails, clubs, everything that I enjoy doing. My routine is pretty much the same every day. My school starts at 7:30 in the morning and ends at 12:50 in the afternoon, including 6 lessons and a break. I work every day except Saturday. I go to work at 2 pm and come back at 6:30 pm. It is my family business, and at 7 pm I go to CrossFit and on Saturdays I go to English school at 8:00 am and leave at 10:00am I go to CrossFit at 10:30. My family consists of 6 people. Gilson my father, Maria my mother and my brothers. I am the big sister of my brothers. Nycolle, the middle sister, is 13 years old and the two youngest are Asaf, 3 years old, and Elisa, who is one month old. I love my family. We are very communicative and united, we always practice physical activities together, watch movies and always have dinner together. I want to make this trip because it will be a great experience for me. I like making new friends and new adventures. I really want to see the snow and learn more about the country's culture. I really want to improve my English because besides helping me in my future I have a lot of love for this language and for the American Culture. I am sure I will adapt, and you will enjoy having me over. I can`t wait to go. Thank you and hope to talk to you very soon, Rayssa.
