Dear Host Family, First of all, I'd like to thank you for accepting me into your home. I'm 15 years old and I'm in the sophomore year of high school (when we are together, I will be 16 and I will be in the junior year). I enjoy sports in general and believe the United States is a great place to learn new things. I'm very excited to experience another culture and also to show off my own. I enjoy listening to music. My favorite singer is Travis Scott. I'm dedicated to my studies, I like animals, and I like helping people. My favorite sport is soccer, but I also like skateboard, basketball, swim, and martial arts. I speak Brazilian Portuguese, English—a language I aim to master fluently—and a little bit of Spanish. I can play the guitar, but I don't know many songs; I'm still learning. I love traveling with my family. We traveled abroad once and loved it, but we also really enjoy Brazilian beaches. I believe the joy of Brazilians is very contagious. I would love to share the Brazilian culture with you, showing you our childhood games, music, and typical foods. I'm so happy to be part of your family and can't wait to get there and meet you! Warm Regards, Miguel
