's Letter

Dear Future Host Family, My mom says I developed responsibility and a skill how to have fun at the same time—because I became an elder sister when I could barely walk! Growing up in a large family taught me to be attentive to people’s needs. I’m good at take care for others and being a reliable support. Now I have two brothers and two dogs.Helping with my youngest brother, who is 2.5 years old, has made me more independent. I handle my own studies, schedule and find the possibility to help my mom. I love creating a cozy and comfort at home. We have a tradition of writing down each other's funny sayings in a diary—humor helps us stay close. At home, we eat simple and healthy food, but we have special traditions: I bake traditional festive bread for Easter, and I always make a birthday cake for my brother. I would be happy to help you with chores and share stories about my people. I love discovering new places, cultures, and ways of life. I am also fond of American movies, and I’m very interested in experiencing how people from different backgrounds live together in one country.I dream of seeing the world with your eyes and becoming a part of your family for this year! I am really looking forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your family. I hope I can bring warmth, positivity, and a little piece of my culture into your home — just as I am excited to learn from yours. Best wishes
