Dear American Family,

My name is Johannes. I am 16 years old, tall, with fair hair and Friendly boy. My family is relatively small consists of 4 members: my father, my mother and sister.  They are all kind and welcoming people. We usually go on hikes in the near by forest trails, we also like to cook together and go to museums.

In home I have three big responsibilities: 1st I have to keep my room clean and also occasionally help clean the apartment we leave in, 2nd I have to help clean the dishes and the kitchen, 3rd I have to take out the trash every day.

I like singing, doing art and doing track and field. I sing in my local upper secondary school's mixed choir and we are hoping to go to the most popular event in Estonia called the Estonian Song Festival. I also like doing art, once a week I go to my local art school and all kinds of art for example: painting and drawing and I also like to train for that I go three times a week to a track and field practice. My favorite sport in it is shotput.

I like to read books about history and politics. I usually read the newspaper daily and watch history and politics related youtube videos. I also like to go for walks with friend and family, I also like to swim a lot. I would like to travel the world also.

My friends usually have the same kind of hobbies I do, we usually go for walks and just hang out in the city.

My Town is relatively small, It has just over 11 thousand people living in it. It has two basic schools and one upper secondary school. Because my town is small the distances aren't very big.

I would like to go to upper secondary school in a different city after finishing this basic school. After upper secondary school I would like to go university and study law, diplomacy or political science. I would like to be a diplomat one day.

I am a very warm person and get along with people quite easily. I am great talker and also listener. I am a very curious person and active person.

I would like to see the United States in person and also to get to know the people more. I have had always a dream going there to study. I also would like to become more independent.

-Johannes
