Dear host family,

First of all, I want to sincerely thank you for your warm hospitality. I’m really excited to spend time with you and learn more about your culture while also sharing mine.

My name is Rodrigo, and I’m 14 years old. I consider myself a friendly and sociable person, although I can be a bit shy at first. I’m responsible and a good student. I have many hobbies, like being a boy scout and practicing sports such as swimming, boxing, and running.

I live in Spain, a country with a rich cultural history and well-known traditions. My town is small but with a long and beautiful history, and I love spending time with my friends, especially downtown. I come from a big family with three siblings, and I’m the youngest. My father is a doctor, and my mother works at a bank. My sisters encouraged me to take this opportunity since they had great experiences in the USA.

At school, I’m in the 9th grade, and I really enjoy subjects like physics and history. I’m not sure yet what I want to do in the future, but I’m considering becoming a doctor. Hopefully, my time in the USA will help me decide.

My routine is usually busy with school, extracurricular activities like swimming, and my English lessons. On weekends, I spend time with my friends or visit my family. I’ve also had the chance to live abroad before, as I’ve spent time in Ireland and England.

Although I’m a little nervous about being away from home, I know this is a unique opportunity, and I’m excited to meet new people and learn a lot. Thank you again for welcoming me.
