Dear Hosting Family, I hope you are doing fine. My name is Jule, and I am writing to express my excitement about my upcoming high school year and I'm looking forward to becoming part of your family. At first, let me share a bit about myself and the reasons about my whish to go on this exciting journey. My motivation is my interest in experiencing new things. I am thrilled to visit America not just as a guest and I am looking forward get to know the US culture, explore the high school life, and learn the language. In my free time, I engage in various activities that bring me joy. I am really interested in sports such as bouldering, kickboxing, and volleyball. I often do these activities in my sports club, with my friends or my family. Additionally, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, whether it is going into the city for shopping and café visits, enjoying a movie night, sometimes going on school dances, or Christmas markets and baking cookies during the winter. Cooking is another passion of mine. Especially, together with friends. One of my strengths that I bring to this exchange is my interest in other countries. I had the opportunity to attend a language trip to Scotland last year, and my family and I like to visit and explore different countries on vacations. I am already quite independent, take care of my animals and meet friends on my own. Health is a significant aspect of my life, not only in relation with sport but food is also important to me. Whether it is choosing wholesome ingredients or experimenting with new recipes. Looking ahead, I hope to find a family who shares my love for animals. I enjoy staying active and engaging in activities with my family, such as playing games. Particularly with my brother we are nearly the same age and I really like spending time with him. Warm regards, Jule
