Hello dear future host family!

I’m Mia and when I’m with you, I’ll be 16 years old.

Thank you for taking me into your family. This is very generous and I don’t take it for granted.

I am a very open-minded person and have many interests.

Of course I go to school during the week and I usually enjoy it very much. I have great teachers and lots of friends at school. My favorite subjects are physics, social studies and sports. After school, I like to go to the gym for a few hours. I also like to go shopping or meet up with friends in my free time. In the evening, I often study a little for school and then take care of my personal hygiene.

My parents are separated and I live in two households. This leads to me being very structured because I always have to keep an eye on where my things are and when I need them. Because of the shared model, my free time with my parents is always slightly different. I get on really well with my father. We often cook together and I love going on long-distance trips with him on vacation. It’s just the two of us, but we manage really well.

It’s a little different with my mom. I live there with her and my stepfather. I get on really well with them too. We often go to the stadium to watch games of the local soccer club, do yoga or enjoy concerts.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any siblings and would be very happy to have host siblings my age. I am very animal-friendly and would love to have pets in the host family.

My cousin also plays a big role for me. I just love her and she is a great role model for me. She did a year abroad and that’s when I started to take an interest in it. I’ve always admired the USA and have been to a few cities with my dad. Now I want to learn more about the culture and experience real American life. I also think the variety of subjects at the high schools is really great. There’s nothing like that in Germany and I’m looking forward to trying out lots of new things. I’ve also dreamed of being a cheerleader since I was little. Maybe I can fulfill this dream here. No matter what my American life will look like, I’m really looking forward to experiencing it with you as a wonderful host family.

Warm regards,

Mia
