Dear American family, Hi! My name is Vinicius, I’m 15 years old and the middle child in my family. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My father is a construction contractor and my mother is a dentist, and we also have two dogs. I study at a private school.I really enjoy history, English, and P.E. In the future, I would like to work in tech, maybe as a programmer, because I’ve always been interested in computers and video games. In the afternoons, I usually come home from school, have lunch, study and do homeworks and work out 4 or 5 times a week. I love to play soccer as a goalkeeper and I play soccer at school,a few months ago I was playing soccer and I had to stop after an injury. I really want to get back to training soon. On weekends, I like to stay home and go out with my friends. We like to go to the movie,eat out,go to each others house,play games. With my family we go eat out, travel on some holidays, visit relatives,make barbecues and watch movies,series and sport games.I am outgoing and I love to talk. As I mentioned, I love sports, especially soccer and I would like to continue playing while I’m there. I support São Paulo FC, my favorite team. I want to become an exchange student not only because it’s been a dream of mine, but also because my brother participated in the High School last year in US and had a wonderfull experience with his american family and school friends and he told me how much he enjoyed it,so I decided to go aswell.I hope to have a great relation with my host family, I would love to do simple things like having dinner together and talking about our day.,watching and practisng sports together,and I am also really excited to make new friends and create unforgettable memories in school. I’ve already traveled to six countries, but my favorite trip was definitely to the U.S where I visited New York,Disney,Boston, Miami and Washington and I really like the US culture.I also visited Dubai and made many friends from different countries during a cruise. Thank you so much for reading my letter. I’m really looking forward to meet you in August 2026! Hugs, Vinicius
