Dear American Family,

Greetings from Mongolia. My name is Jiguur, and I live with my mother. I have a grandfather and even though he lives in different apartment we meet once in every week. Sometimes my grandfather offers a restaurant, and after having lunch we enjoy watching some concerts or playing cards at home. When my mom and I are together, we enjoy go on a walk in the park at noon and buy ice-cream. At home I take duties such as cleaning the whole floor and tidying the rooms. I always wash the dishes to help my mom getting some rest and I go to grocery store with my mom to hold all the heavy stuffs. In cleaning days, I have to wipe and clean all the surfaces. To help my mother who is trying her best in everything I must help her to give her rest.

About my interests, I am into playing my favorite songs on guitar and learning new songs. This helps me to get confidence and keep the quiet home in good vibe and to make it noisy with music. Also playing volleyball and basketball are my favorite because scoring and teamworking boosts my mood. I am interested in exploring historical events and about economy or politics around the world. Doing work-out every day helps me to feel much better after long days and helps me to build discipline.

I am in many friends' groups and there is a group where we play online games on computer in our free time. With the help of them I was managed to catch up with modern slangs and increase my knowledge on computer. I also have friend group where we try calisthenics on horizontal bar. We almost meet every day and push ourselves to become better, building discipline together. We learn from each other's and stay healthy. With my classmates we play basketball and sometimes we play Billard.

My city is full of great memories even though there are plenty of downsides such as so much air pollution and unfriendly environment. There is a park which is the most exciting place, and the area and statutes of our conqueror ancestors make me proud by increasing my heartbeat rate every time when I pass through it. The park is the place where I spend learning most of my calisthenics skills and it is well designed which is full of green space and spacious friendly environment.

In the future I am planning to study in overseas finishing my university as a great economist. Economics relates to my goal of becoming great leader and I am interested in this topic. Also not only learning economy I will become entrepreneur and start my own business. Even after my graduation, I would be still trying my best to volunteer and achieve my goal of becoming president of Mongolia.

Host family, I am a person who is good at adapting, and I have a growth mindset and well disciplined. I want you to know that this exchange program and the experience we will have in this journey would teach me crucial skills and lessons which will soon build the greatest leader. I want to gain a friendship and strong bond with new people and make memorable challenging journey. This opportunity would help me to understand different views from different culture and might change my view of seeing the world. Also, I want to gain independence skills and effective communication or collaboration with new people to learn from them and have a great overcoming ability in challenging moments.

Thank you for your attention,
Jiguur
