Dear future host family, I am a girl from the Netherlands. I am very thankful that you chose me and I can’t wait to be a part of your family. I really want to try new things and travel to new places. I am an outgoing, sportive girl. I am very social and if I have to believe my friends, I am also funny. I’ve played a lot of different sports, but right now I play soccer. So that is something that I want to continue doing in America, I am aware that it might not be possible, so I am also excited to try new things. My parents are divorced, but I still see them both regularly. I am close with my family, so I hope I’ll get close with you too. I am excited to learn new things and to teach you new things to. I want to learn more about your culture and become fluent in english. I have seen so many videos and pictures from other peoples exchange year, so I am very excited for it. I am excited to become a part of your family! Warm regards, Ilse
