Hello, I hope to find you all well I am a 15-year-old teenager and I am attending the 1st year of high school, I went to school as 06 months and stayed full time until I completed two years, I went to a second school where I studied part-time and there I completed what we call pre in Brazil, in the third school I stayed for 09 years completing all elementary school and this year I opted for a new change of school, A new challenge, classes started at the beginning of February/24 and although some friends from the previous school are with me in this new school I am still adapting as new colleagues, teachers, routines and teaching methodology, and I confess that I am missing the previous school. I live with my parents, I am an only child on my mother's side and on my father's side I have two sisters 23 years old and 25 years old and with a person who helps us at home and has been in our family for 25 years since my first sister was born, we consider her as our second mother. I also have a niece who is my older sister's daughter, she is 05 years old and is the pampering of our family. On my father's side I don't have my grandparents, I have 03 uncles and 06 cousins live in Bahia – Brazil which is 02 hours by plane from São Paulo, it's where I take the opportunity to spend my holidays in a warm place with wonderful beaches and on my mother's side I have my grandparents, 02 uncles and a 6-year-old cousin. They live 6 km from my house and we get together every Sunday for lunch. We live in a place with a lot of space and green area and we like animals, we have a German Sptiz dog named Lola, she is 7 months old, we have a turtle named Beatriz and a rabbit named Belle, and we still have the privilege of receiving some visits from other animals in our backyard such as: Toucans, Lion Tamarins, squirrels, porcupines and even lizards, the visit of some animals is even strange because we are inside the city, but as the large green area they end up getting closer. I wake up very early to go to school – 5:00 am and return between 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm, during the week I don't have much free time, I have to do my homework and I always find a way to play online with my friends. My favorite hobbies are: video games, watching series, going to the mall with friends, riding motorcycles, riding jet skis and enjoying time with my family. When I was a child and I traveled with my parents to the USA, I always joked that I spoke English, I wanted to communicate with everyone, I put in all the words the ending on, like imagination and believe me that everyone was understanding me, everyone laughed at my communication. As a hallmark of American culture, I want to make the most of the education and sports o􀆯ered in schools and try the varieties of typical dishes. My biggest goal to be achieved with the exchange is fluency in the English language and the experience of living away from my family which is my safe haven, I feel that I need to start creating my independence, and to become a good professional I believe that these two factors will be crucial for a successful future. I am anxious and confess with a little fear with the changes I will have to face in this period, but I am a communicative, cheerful, a􀆯ectionate and well-adapted boy and I hope to find a family and colleagues with the same characteristics, I will do my best to reciprocate and I will always be grateful for the opportunity of the family that opens its doors to receive me. I hope I was able to express/show a little bit of myself in this letter.
