My name is Clément, I'm 16 years old and I'm in the 11th grade. I live in the southwest of France and It's an ideal place to enjoy nature, from water sports to mountain hiking. My parents have been separated for 1 year, so I live with my mom most of the time but my relationship with both my parents is happy. I have a younger brother who goes to college, and 2 beautiful black and white cats aged 5. In life, I have a wide range of interests, but what I prefer is sharing moments with people I care about and meeting new ones. Engaging in discussions on interesting topics or participating in various activities together brings me immense joy. I enjoy playing sports like soccer and weight training, which keep me fit and provide a great outlet for my energy. I appreciate all kinds of sports, whether team activities or individual pursuits, as they challenge me physically and mentally. Cooking is another passion of mine. I love preparing meals for myself and others, especially my favorite dishes like French tacos and sushi. What matters most is sharing laughs and enjoying simple moments together. Fashion is also important to me, and I enjoy dressing well. The idea of meeting new people and forming friendships with family members as well as others in the community excites me greatly. I look forward to learning how to adapt to new situations, such as living in a place I don't know, with a family that has its own habits and traditions. I consider myself to be quite mature and an easygoing person, capable of understanding the responsibilities that come with communal living. My goal is to integrate into your family as best as I can and contribute to a warm and harmonious environment. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my letter. It means a lot to me.
