Letter to my Host Family

I am a kind, sociable, open-minded, sporty, self-sufficient, caring, and curious person who cannot wait to meet you! My favorite subjects in school are sciences and languages--I would love to be an architect one day! During my free time, I like doing sports, especially tennis. I have practised it for the past 8 years in the club of my city. I have been lucky enough to attend many sporting events because I share this passion with my father, such as soccer, handball, basketball and tennis matches! I love the emotions provided by sport, like major national competitions and I would like to discover American sports culture in high school, new sports and support my school during competitions! I also enjoy creative hobbies like making handmade gifts for my friends and family. Once, with a group of friends, we all made a personalized board game. I love the pleasure of offering and creating. I love cooking and baking too. I would love to share these moments with you and help you discover French cooking and pastry! Thank you for giving me this extraordinary opportunity, I am deeply grateful!
