Buongiorno!

My name is Paul. I am 16 years old and in the 10^th grade at Hampshire High School. I live in High View West Virginia with my parents, Paul and Lillian and my sister Michelle.

I enjoy doing many different things in my spare time. Some sports that I enjoy are driving, baseball, basketball, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, road biking, running, and surfing the web. Also I like spending time with my friends and staying out late. Watching TV and movies, and listening to music. I like most kinds of music like Alternative, Classic Rock, Pop, Rap, R&B, and Punk.

I enjoy living in the United States but am looking forward to experiencing life away from home. I can't wait to stay with you and live as you do in Italy. Seeing the every day life and the rich culture of your country will be a great experience. I think that not only could I learn from you but you could also learn from me. I look forward to meeting you and staying in your home.

Adio,
