Dear host family, My name is Marcelina, I live in Poland with my mom and dad. I attend a bilingual high school where I study both in Polish and English. I really enjoy mathematics and physics because they teach me how to think logically and solve problems. I am also learning Chinese and French, which I find fascinating because they open a window to new cultures and ways of thinking. In my free time, I love drawing and expressing my creativity through art. I also enjoy swimming, reading, and spending time outdoors. One of my biggest passions is baking and cooking because I like trying new recipes and sharing what I make with my family and friends. I love traveling and discovering new places, learning about their history and culture. My friends say that I am responsible, mature, and empathetic. I have many friends, and I love meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I also really like animals and believe they bring joy and warmth to everyday life. In the future, I would like to become an architect because I love combining creativity with logic and design. I am very close to my parents, and they always encourage me to be curious, independent, and open-minded. I appreciate that they trust me and support my decisions, which helps me grow and become more confident. I want to take part in the exchange program because I believe it will be an amazing opportunity to improve my English, meet new people, and discover new cultures. I like challenges and new adventures, and I see this exchange as a chance to develop as a person, learn independence, and see the world from a different perspective. I am excited to experience life in an American high school and to share this experience with others when I return home. I believe that learning from different people teaches us tolerance, respect, and understanding, and I would love to contribute to that kind of atmosphere in my new school and community. I will bring to my host family a lot of positive energy, smiles, and curiosity about learning your culture and traditions. I am open, friendly, and I make friends easily, so I believe I will adapt quickly and become a real part of your family. I would love to share my own culture, traditions, and language with you. I would be happy to show you some Polish customs, cook traditional dishes, and teach you a few words in Polish. I believe that mutual exchange of experiences and ideas can be very enriching for everyone. I am also a responsible and independent person who likes to help at home. I enjoy being part of a team and supporting others whenever they need it. I like organizing my time and always try to do my best in everything I take on. I value honesty, kindness, and respect, and I always try to create a warm and friendly atmosphere around me. I will also bring my passions and creativity to your family, whether it is cooking together, drawing, or helping with household chores. Thank you very much for opening your home and heart to me. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to meeting you soon. With warm regards, Marcelina
