Hello! My name is Helene and I live in Germany. I am in the 9th grade. I have two siblings: my older brother Anton and my little sister Lotte. They are seventeen and twelve years old. My parents names are Andrea and Heiner and they were in the United States for an exchange when they were sixteen. I love to play softball and I like to dance and sing. I would like to go to the US for a year in the 11th grade, in summer 2024. I want to get to know the people because I often hang out with my friends and I love to get to know new people. I am mostly happy and when I am happy I often sing. I want to learn the language very well beacause English is an important language. I have been learning English in school for three years now. The first foreign language I started to learn is French. Unfortunately I have a lot of allergies which basically lead to neurodermatitis. That's why I can't eat eggs in any way. I hope I can find a very nice family which has no problems with my special needs. I am planning to do my year abroad with an organisation. So if you decide to be my host family the registration would be with that organisation. If you can imagine to be my host family for one school year I would be very happy to hear from you. Thank you for being willing to participate in this program. Helene
