Hello dear family, my name is Guilherme and I am 17 years old. I live with my mother, my sister, and my 3 cats. We live in a house, which I have lived in since I was born. I spend my time with my family and I really enjoy it. Sometimes my mother calls us to talk about the things that are happening in our lives, mine and my sister’s. We talk about life things, for example, my grades at school, my decisions, my problems.
In my opinion, we are a good and great family because, in difficult times, we are united, becoming one. My sister’s name is Marcela, she is a great girl and she is 14 years old. My mother’s name is Maria Cecília, she is 46 years old and she is the best mother I could have had. My mother gave us a traditional education, teaching us what is right and wrong, she did this almost single-handedly. I love my father Enzo and I see him whenever I can on the weekends. I have always spent time with his family, I love my grandmother Marilene who has always been a great-grandmother to me. I have my godmother Tanise, who is my father’s sister and whom I love. She gave me a very handsome cousin named Lucas. I don’t have any grandparents on my mother’s side, but I feel like I know them, because my mother talks so much and tells us their stories.
From my mother’s side of the family, I have my uncles Daniela, who is my godmother, and Luiz, who is also my godfather. She is very strict with me, but I know it’s because she loves me. My uncle is more gentle, but he pulls my ears when he needs to be. I have other uncles that I don’t spend much time with, but I also love them.
Now let’s talk about me, about my personality. I’m a funny guy, at least that’s what I think. I love to see people laugh at the things I said or did. I’m shy when I meet new people, but it’s a way of getting to know more about them and the people around me. But over time, I’m becoming more outgoing. I’m an observant person, I can see the smallest details in people and situations that I witness. I like small things and I am a good person and I think that what is right is right.”
I like to eat sushi and Japanese food, I love to eat pizza, I eat everything. I just like tomatoes a little less, I avoid eating them. In my family, we have a tradition of going for a drive on the weekends together, it’s like a moment that we call a little moment between me, my mother and my sister. Sometimes my mother calls just one of us so she can give both of us her full attention individually.
I love this, it reconnects us. Normally, in this tradition, we eat at restaurants in my city that we like or we go on rural trails and eat typical things. I like to play handball, and volleyball, I like to play computer games, for example, “Warzone”. I exercise every week, I love it.
Now, to end this letter, I want to tell my future host family that I hope to have a very good experience in my program. I hope to evolve as a person, and I hope to mature in this program, more than I am now. In short, I hope to come back as a better person, having improved in several points. I thank you in advance for reading about me and my family and I hope to have a great time with you.
