LUIZA

's Letter

Hi, I'm a shy girl at first, but when I feel comfortable, I talk a lot and don't stop anymore. I love dogs, I have two, Tereza and Matilde, and I love playing with them. I love watching Brazilian football. My team is Cruzeiro and I go to the games with my brother. Sometimes I watch American football, but only the Super Bowl. My dream job would be in international relations. At the American school, I really wanted to be able to participate in activities that don't exist in mine, here in Brazil. It would be an incredible chance to learn new things. I also really want to make friends from other countries and get to know new cultures. It must be amazing to live with such different and, at the same time, similar people. I really want to have the experience of staying at another family's house because I think you can learn much more than just the language. I wanted to see up close what the culture is like, the way they live, the food, the holidays... everything! I also think it would help me grow, get out of my comfort zone and learn to manage things on my own. And it would be very cool to create a connection with new people, maybe even get a second family. I would love to travel and visit tourist places in my host community, it ends up being a super relaxed and fun moment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! I hope to meet you soon!
