Hi, my name is Pilar.

First, I would like to talk about my family. I have a father, mother, and two sisters, Maria and Ana. Nowadays, my sisters are not living at home because they are studying in another city, but they come back very frequently, on vacations and so. I really like to spend time with family, hiking with them, going shopping, to the movies or just playing board games. My sisters and I are very close to each other and we have a very good relationship.

Furthermore , people always tell me that I am a very generous person, I always like to share my things with other people. I am a really smiley kid as well, and I always like to be helping any one if they are sad or just need a hug. I love to laugh with my friends but also to have deep conversations with them. I’m responsible for my things and for things from other people. Also, I’m very caring with my friends and the people around me. Besides, I’m really sympathetic and I love taking care of the others too. Although I can sometimes have a strong character and I can get angry a bit fast, I’m trying to change that and I think I’m on the right path.

To go on with my hobbies, I’m going to start with sports, the one I’m practicing now its volleyball, and I love it, but I have also done gymnastics, ballet, swimming, a little bit of tennis… Also I love doing crafts of all types. What I like to do when I’m stressed out it’s singing, although I don’t sing very well; dance or draw. In fact I don’t really have a favorite food because I cannot choose only one, but some of the ones I like the most are lasagne, pasta, burgers, pizza, as fruits like strawberries and vegetables like brocco and every kind of Spanish meal I will be willing to make to my future host family. Moreover I love watching sunsets and sunrises, going to the beach on holidays and spend time with animals is one of my favorite activities too. From this experience I would like to learn new things and grow as a person as well as to learn English. Also meet new people, became very close to my host family and make new friends, live a completely new live and new experiences.

I would like my family to be supporting and caring, where they like to have fun together, for example going to theme parks (I love extreme rides), or having lunch or dinner outside home. I also love cooking so if someone could teach me some American cuisine that could be great. I would like to spend a lot of time with them and doing different things. I love animals but as I live in an apartment I can’t have one so it would be great to get to have any pets and animals for a year! Learning new things is something that I really enjoy so I think that riding horses, skiing (even though I’ve been once) … would be great examples, but I am also very open to whatever my future family is eager to teach me.

Family gatherings are part of my identity, I always have a blast when we get together in special occasions (I come from a very large family, I have 10 cousins from my dad’s side and 5 from my mom’s and they are very important to me, as well as my grandparents and aunts and uncles) I love to watch live sports at the stadiums (in my city I watch the regional soccer and basketball team on a regular basis) I’ve heard that American sports venues are very impressive so I would fancy trying it once if possible. I’m a catholic, I go to church every Sunday and my church friends are very close to me. I’m also very active and I really like to hang out with friends and do any kind of plan!

Hope to see you soon! Best wishes.
