Dear family,
I can’t belive I’m finally writing this letter! These words will finally allow me to find such wonderful people as you that, hosting me for a year, will help me realizing my dream: improving my English in a huge way and becoming a perfect American girl. I was born in a great city in Italy, rich in history and traditions.
What about my family?
My father is a military in the Italian Air Force, my mother is a midwife. I have one older brother who studies science in high school, he is a very determined and affectionate person, in fact we are very close. I also have a six-year old cat. We are a very close family and we like to go on vacation together to visit wonderful places around the world. We like to climb mountains and take long walks in nature. We always try to help each other and support each other.
I’m attending the language school in my city. I study Spanish, French, English and Italian at the moment and I really enjoy learning about the origins and stories of these languages, I hope in the future to speak them well so that I have many job opportunities.
I love reading books and watching movies, I often try them in English, so that I can improve it. I usually go out with friends and I hope to have other friends of my age in America. I have two bestfriends, we have known each other for fourteen years! I always have fun with them, even if we just stay home; otherwise when we go out we usually go walking and shopping (I love to go shopping!) in my city’s center or go to cinema and parties. Pop music is another of my passions, some of my favorite artists are: The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, and Chase Atlantic.
I am also a sports lover: I have been doing rhythmic gymnastics for seven years and now I regularly go to the gym. One of my dreams has always been being a cheerleader, so I hope I’ll take part of my American school’s cheerleader’s team.
As a good Italian, I love cooking: I usually cook pasta with different sauces and I also cook cakes (You have to try those!). i can’t wait to cook Italian dishes for you, so that I’ll be able to take a piece of my home, of my Italy, in your house.
Last but not least, I love traveling and discovering new places and realities that are totally different from the ones I’m in everyday. I like changing my habits and getting used to other cultures so that I can have new experieces and meet new people. I think there is always something to learn from the others, so, after this travel I know I will be very richer thanks to you and to everyone I’ll meet there.
I’ve never have a doubt about this experience, I’m very determined and ambitious. Therefore I’m really glad with my parents that understand how important this experience is to me. I’m really calm and nice girl. i can be a good friend and a good daughter, helping you whenever you need a hand, and hoping you’ll do the same with me.
I don’t know what I’ll do in the future, but I have clear ideas of what I want to do, and I’m trying hard to realize my projects. In fact, I know that next year I’ll totally change my way of living, and the best thing about it is that I don’t have any fear of that, because I’m really curious to know new things and to face the world around me. I wish I’ll feel part of your family and you’ll be proud of me as your daughter, as I would like that this experience won’t be just great for me, but also for you.

Thank you, C.
