Lara

's Letter

Dear future host family, First of all, thank you so much for participating in the exchange program and to give me the chance to live with your family! My name is Lara and I come from Germany. I am living together with my two sisters and my parents. I have a younger sister Alexa, who is 11 years old and a twin sister Lena. My mom Kathleen works as a bank clerk and my dad Sven is an engineer. Currently, I am attending a secondary school and I am in the 9th grade. I am very interested in chemistry and biology. But actually, I like all subjects. I love going to school and I am a very ambitious and hard-working person. Aside from that I would describe myself as reliable and I love to take responsibility, for example for my younger sister. Both at school and in other areas like sports I always try to give my best. I am very into dancing! I go dancing in a dance school with my sister, which I do twice a week. I mostly spend my free time together with my twin sister. I started dancing Hip Hop when I was 4 years old. Since last year I have done Jumpstyle too. Furthermore, I love swimming in a swimming club with my friends twice a week. In addition, I really enjoy doing something with my family! At the weekends my family and me often do something. Together we mostly go hiking, skating or cycling a lot. Sometimes we relax on a lake or we just go for a walk. On Thursdays, my sisters and I mostly meet up with our grandparents, where we play cards or just talk together. I decided to participate in this exchange program because I want to strengthen my own personality. America is known as the multicultural country. This is why America is that interesting for me. It would be great for me to get to know the American culture and its lifestyle. But what excites me the most is attending on a high school, because I cannot wait to experience the school spirit and I would like to join some new clubs. I am looking forward to get to know you and I am very grateful to become part of your family! Best regards, Yours Lara
