Dear future host family, my name is Leni and I would be happy to be your guest daugther for 10 months. I am a young teenager girl who lives in northern germany with my family. In my family there is my father Philipp, my mother Kris, my brother Max and my other little brother Jonas. We also have a dog "Boomer" and mom`s horse "Pedro". I love watching after Jonas whenever my parents are not at home. We love to play and draw together. Drawing is in general a passion of myself. One thing about me that I Iove to do is to listening to music on headphones and on a music box with and without friends. No matter what, I listen to nearly every kind of music. Besides that, I play clarinet in our school orchestra. On the weekend I often meet friends and we talk and laugh together, but I spend most of the time with my best friend Zena, she is my neighbour and we have been friends since 7 years. What else do I also like? I also like to bake with my mother. She bakes bread and does cakes for the whole family and even for friends. We also play board games with the whole family and I love those afternoons. But when I need time for myself I go into my room and listen to some music and do my make up and my hair: just a little "me time". I need this a few times a week. Some evenings I am allowed to stay awake longer than my little brothers and my parents and I watch some films together. We often use this special evenings to talk about the day and things that I am dealing with. I also love baking with friends for example birthday cakes. That is always very funny because we can write funny sayings on it. What I also like is eating: I love to eat and I eat nearly everything and especially I like to prepare the meals, that makes so much fun. When I take care of my smallest brother, I often take a walk with him and our dog and we have a picnic or go to a playground. In general I really like to care of children and love to play with them. In total I can say, that I am a normal teenage girl with a lot of ambition to experience new things and who wants to bring empathy and love to her new host family. I am looking forward to meeting you! Yours, Leni
