Why do I want to study and live as an American Teenage? I always thought it is important to learn about the world and how different parts of the world work. In the future I want to be involved with politics or law, so what better place to learn then America. I also want to teach you about my culture. I know America is not like what they show on TV. I live with my parents and little brother. My brother and I spend much time together and get along very well. During the week we spend time watching films and going for walks on the weekend I spend time with my grandmother and friends. I really enjoy all kinds of sports and have played a few. I love basketball. I train three times a week and have been playing on a team since I was eight years old. I am looking forward to playing sports at my new American school. I know this year will be exciting and new for all of us. I cant wait to meet my new family.
