Dear host Family, Thank you so much to being willing to participate in the exchange program and accepting me to live with your family. I am a German student who enjoys trying new things and exploring the world, including America. The opportunity to live in the USA is very exiting to me, and I would love to learn more about American culture and your daily life. Staying active is important to me. I play tennis and hockey and enjoy trying new sports and activities. Music is also a part of my life, and I like to play the piano. I can speak a little Spanish, and look forward to become fluent in English. At home I often go for walks with our dog and take care of my five rabbits. I also enjoy activities such as baking and cooking and would be happy to share some German recipes with you. I love spending time with friends. We like going out, or doing activities together. Family is very important to me. I have a good relationship with my parents and my older sister. We share time together. Go traveling to see other countries and learn new about different cultures. I hope to become a part of your family as well. Looking ahead, I would like to have a career where I can help people, possibly as a doctor, although I am not completely sure yet. I believe this exchange year will give me many new experiences and gain friends for a lifetime. Warm Regards, Klara
