Hello, my name is Brady.  I would like to explain why the Italian Exchange Program would be such a great experience for me.  I know that it would benefit me through out my life in more ways than can ever be explained.  For one it would be a trip of a lifetime.  Living and hosting someone of a different background would be a great experience.  With different customs of my family and I, it would be phenomenal to learn and experience another culture.  Meeting new people and peers at a school from a different country would be an overwhelming subject to learn about.  Also, getting to hear the different languages and learning some too, would be enjoyable.  Everyone has their differences, that’s the way that I see it, but not everyone gets to share them with others.  I would really like to share my difference with another part of the world and get to experience different foods, clothing, and ethnicities.  I personally think that It would change the way I see things, and make me learn that all things are different, yet the same no matter where you are in the world.  It is not just that though, the education is a big part of my reasoning.  The education would help me out in the job industry later in life, as well as now.  Getting to see different museums, and artistic creations everyday would be immense.  I figure that, “without education, there in no purpose in learning anything at all.”

A little bit about me….I am a female.  I have brown hair and blue-green eyes.  I play soccer for Hampshire High’s Varsity team as a starter.  Soccer is something that I like to do in my spare time.  I also like to read, and hang out with my friends.  My friends and I have a little clique called, “The Fantastic Four.”  It consists of my best friend in the whole world Savanna Tate (Tater), Tyler Long (-Ler), James Sabo (Tarzan), and of course me (Beans)!  We have so much fun together.  It is amazing; they are always there when I need them.  They know that I will always be there for them if they ever need me.  I would like to go in school, go to college, and get my doctorate degree; I would like to become a sports medicine physician and specialize on the feet and ankles. 

Since I would be hosting it would be a good idea to tell you about my house.  It’s a brown house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  We have a pool, that’s only fun in the summer, and we live in a small sub-development with my grandparents and a few other neighbors in the country, away from……well a lot!  My exchange student would have my room.  My parents used to smoke, but they both quit about 6 years ago.  If smoking is needed, then it would be permitted, but would have to be done outside.

About my family…I have a little brother who is 11.  His name is Logan .  He is my little inspiration.  He lightens my day in ways that no one else can, and he inspires me to be myself and not care what anyone else thinks.  Then there are my parents….Bob and Laura.  They both own their own companies and work as hard as they possibility can.  They are my light leading me down the right path.  They help me out in ways that are unexplainable.  Whenever I need them I know that I can just call and they will be right there by my side.  Finally, there are my grandparents.  They complete the closest group of people to me in my heart.  Where would I be without them?  I have no idea.  My grandmother is one of my best friends.  She teaches me things that with anyone else I would not want to learn.  Without her there by my side I would be lost.  I see her everyday and when I don’t get to, I feel like my day is not complete until I do.  Then there is my grandfather.  I honestly can say that I have never met anyone on in my life yet that works as hard as he does.  He never stops.  Everyday he is always doing something to make improvements and to help everyone out….nonstop, seven days a week.  My family is my treasure.

I enjoy seeing different things and I hope I can enjoy seeing Italy .  It would be a great honor going to Italy and I would do all that I could to make everything go efficiently.  Getting to learn new things and also teach things to others would be a great occurrence.
