Hi! My name is Andrea and I live in a small town in northern Italy. I attend a scientific lyceum in the big city. I have quite good grades mostly in scientific subjects. I live with my family in an independent house with a garden. My dad is a high school teacher, he teaches history and philosophy. My mother is a university teacher in a big town, she teaches sociology. We don't have animals at home but I like animals and it would be nice to live with. My sister is a student, and she is attending her last high school year. She has been a foreign exchange student in Argentina for five months. During my life I have visited many countries because my family has always liked to travel for tourism. I have been to different countries in Europe and outside Europe. When I was a child I lived 6 months in Paris whit my mom who was working there. I have always played sports: basketball, swimming, soccer and athletics but since the last year I quit basketball for my current school doesn't leave me too much spare time. I am outgoing and enterprising and I easily make friends. I hope to have a great experience in the USA, I'm sure it will be an opportunity to enrich my life and my culture. I hope to find a warm and welcoming family that will appreciate my character and my way of being. I'm willing to meet new people, to challenge my ideas and grow up. Thank you for hosting me Sincerely, Andrea
