Dear future host family, My name is Leticia, I'm from Brazil and I live with my parents, who are called Marcelo and Cassiana. My father is a lawyer, law professor, and now he became a medical student. My mother is a lawyer and works at the commercial board. I have a younger brother called Mauricio, he wants to be a professional soccer player when he grows up. I love my family, we are very close, I can count on them for everything because I know they will always support me. When my father was my age, he used to be an exchange student and stayed in Bloomington-Indiana, he loved the experience and still has contact with his host family. I've had the opportunity to meet them. From the first time I said that I wanted to be in an exchange program and my parents supported me at first. My father, who already did, showed me all his photos and documentation from that time. And the reason this interest aroused in me was because in addition to improve my English, I want to get to know the culture and visit colleges so that I can study in the future. I'm a girl who loves traveling. I've been to Japan, China, South Korea, France, Italy, Canada, United States, among other countries. I love getting to know new cultures, new languages, new learning, which has already sparked my interest in exchange. I would love to have this incredible experience with you. Regarding my friendships, I have many friends at school, I love going out, watch movies, series, go to the mall, cycling in the park with my friends or with my family. One thing I love is animals, I have two dogs, called Gucci and Chanel, I also have a horse called Infinity, which I practice horse riding, as you can see I love all sports. I've done some many like soccer, volleyball, jazz, tap dancing, ballet, tennis, surf, among others.Always I have a chance I ski which is my passion. Nowadays I horse riding and work out at the gym as sport. I have been to so many horse riding competitions. This year I have ski in Canada on my summer vacation. I love snow since I don't have in my country, so cold places is not at all a problem for me. I have been studying almost all my schools years in an International School, besides my Dad speaks English with me since I was a baby. I love to try new kinds of foods, and have no restriction in general. Like italian, chinese, japanese and american food like hash brows and mac and cheese. It's amazing Denny's strawberry milk shake and of course Crumbl cookies. I love american breakfast, specially pancakes, waffles and hot chocolate. Finally, I would like to thank you for your time and attention. Best Wishes, Sincerly, Leticia
