Dear host family, My name is Leonardo and I’m from Brazil. I’m very happy and grateful for this opportunity, I don’t have words to thank you. I really like learning about new cultures and seeing how people live in other places. I want to know more about life in the United States, how people celebrate different holidays, and see how everyday life is there. I have two brothers, but one of them doesn’t live at home anymore. I also have a dog, and I really enjoy spending time with him. I like to play soccer, watch games, have fun with my friends, and learn new things. I also like to help at home and I’m responsible with my tasks. During the exchange, I want to learn English, meet new people, and have different experiences. I study every day during the week. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, I wake up at 5:50 in the morning to go to school and I return home at 4:30 p.m., which is when classes finish. On Wednesday and Friday, I wake up at 5:50 a.m. and return home at 12:45 p.m. I hope to show you a little about my culture, talk about my family, and share about Brazil. I also want to learn about your life and family traditions. I’m excited to live this experience, meet you, and enjoy every moment with your family. Thank you. Best regards, Leo
