Self-Description:

Those who know me describe me as a polite and quiet guy. I tend to help people in need, often asking them how they are and finding solutions to make them feel good, my mom sometimes says that I should be a psychologist. I study a lot at school, to achieve my goals and satisfy my parents, and my grades are quite high. When there is something new, I sometimes can get a bit anxious, but this anxiety goes away when i adjust to the situation or the environment. Covid 19 has made me close in on myself a bit, but I don't have big problems making friends. I'm a dreamer, sometimes too much so, and I always have both positive and negative expectations about my future. I don't like injustice and I spontaneously think about fighting them. I really enjoy listening to music, traveling, swimming, eating sushi, having new experiences and hanging out with my friends. I'm looking forward to making new friends, learning about the culture and getting to know my new family.

Self-Description:

I am a boy who loves to learn new things, especially science, I love to eat and try new things, I love to cook, when my mother leaves us my brother and I try to make new recipes. I love sport, all kinds of sport and the truth is that I need to do sport, it's the time of the day that I like the most, it's what I enjoy the most. I like music and cinema a lot, everyone in my family has their own Spotify playlist and on car trips we play a game where we each choose several songs from each other's playlists, we put them on a playlist and we have to guess which playlist each song is from. My mother loves music and has played all kinds of music for us since we were little and we love it. My father loves football and when we can, my brother and I go with him to watch Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid matches. We have a tradition every Friday afternoon, night since the pandemic, we watch a movie and eat pizza, I love that moment. I also like travelling a lot, the 5 of us have been taught to travel since we were little and it's good because we learn to have patience and endurance because they make us walk a lot. My parents are quite demanding with us, but at the same time they always help us with whatever we need. What makes me most excited about going is the experience of a course in the United States, meeting new people, and living the way people live there because it's different from our customs and traditions. And for sport because it is a very important part of education in the United States.
