Dear Host Family, Hi! My name is Henrique, I'm from Brazil, and I believe this exchange program will be an amazing opportunity for personal growth and learning. I'm really eager to meet you and create some unforgettable memories. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, especially soccer, which I'm truly passionate about. I play almost every day, whether I'm training for a championship or just kicking the ball for fun. I love the teamwork, discipline, and the energy that soccer brings. I also like to try out other sports such as American Football, basketball, and volleyball, and I enjoy watching them too. Besides sports, I'm a sociable person who places a lot of value on friendships and family. I love meeting new people, and I'm always open to new experiences. I'm also focused and determined, but I always make sure to keep things light and fun with my sense of humor. I'm thrilled at the possibility of being part of your family and joining your routine. I think this exchange program is a unique opportunity to learn and grow, not just as a student but as a person. I'm eager to live your culture, try new foods, and take part in traditions that are different from mine. When I arrive in the U.S., I hope to improve my English skills and expand my horizons. I believe being immersed in a new culture will help me become more fluent and confident in speaking. I'm also happy to share a little bit about Brazil and our culture with you, and if you're interested, I can teach you some Portuguese along the way! I'm excited for the opportunity to learn from you, share my experiences, and make wonderful memories together. I really believe this will be a terrific experience, and I can't wait for the adventure to begin! Warm regards Henrique
