Dear family,

I´m Saúl, and I am 14 years old, I live in a town in the center of Spain called Valladolid. Although I was born here I have lived in Madrid for 13 years, we moved to Valladolid last year.

I´m really excited about this program because I think it´s a new experience, and I love the idea of been a member of an American family for a course. I will try to integrate with you all the time and I will help on household chores.

Here I live with my family, my father Jesus, my mother Esther and by two brothers. My little brother, Víctor, is 10 years old, and my old brother, Darío, is 18. He he,s been in Texas with a host family three years ago. We like to spend time together playing cards, playing ping pong and watching TV. I´m very lucky because my four grandparents live very near from us and we visit them every weekend.

I´m a good student and I think I´m funny and a friendly person. My hobbies are: playing soccer with my team, playing chess with my father and playing video games with my friends. I also like watching any sport on TV. At summer time I love climbing mountains with my father and brothers. I also like surfing, camping and travelling. I would love to visit many countries all around the world.

I want to be with my new American family to share my culture and I´d like to learn everything about American culture and languaje. I´ve always wanted to travel to USA and now I have the opportunity of being there for one course.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your family.

Best regards,

Saúl
