Hello! I hope this letter finds you well! My name is Zulkifal, and i am a 10th-grade student from a village in Pakistan. My village is known for its people's hospitality and kindness, and I am exited to share a bit about myself. I live in a rural area with my family, which includes my father, a farmer, my mother, a house wife, and my brother and sister, who are also students. Growing up in a rural setting has taught me the importance of teamwork, especially with in my family. I often help my father with farm work, as well as taking care of other responsibilities like looking after our pets, keeping the yard clean, and doing the grocery shopping. Further more I have supportive group of friends who encourage each other and share knowledge with each others. At school, I am very dedicated to my education and proud to have achieved A+ grades in 9th grade, which reflex my commitment to academics. Outside of school, I enjoy playing cricket, which help me stay active and is something I looking forward to share with new friends in the U.S. I also have a passion for gardening, which keeps me engaged when I am not studying. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and going fishing. Looking to the future, I aspire to become a pilot, and I am exited about the opportunity to be part of the ''Yes Program''. Living with your family in the United States will not only give me a chance to learn about American life but also allow me to share my own Pakistani culture with you. I wish to learn about American history as well as the American tradition. I think it is going to be a great experience of sharing each other's cultures and learning about various perspectives for global awareness and personal growth. I am eagerly looking forward to meet you and become a part of your family. The journey of my exchange year would not only help me to gain knowledge and skills but it would create memories that I will cherish forever and friendships that would transcend geographical boundaries to foster mutual understanding among people of both the countries. Together, I believe we will create an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, learning and endless memories to cherish. I cannot wait to meet you soon. Warm regards, Zulkifal
