Hi, I am Patty. I wish to go on the Italian exchange program trip to experience their culture and different society then ours. To be able to recognize the aspects of  another culture from a different country. It seems to me that Italy is an interesting country to go see.

        It will influence me as a student in a way that it couldn't influence a person that isn't interested in going at all. My knowledge in class will be more advanced on the subject of Italy. On my own influence as a person I will get to just know the fact that i was able to go to another country and that it was a life time offer and that maybe I will never be able to get a chance to even be able to go.

        My home life is a fun, happy, loving home. We always eat dinner together and we do activities together. I mean we do have our hard times and our horrible times, but other than that it is a good home. I also really love basketball and volleyball. I have alot of fun hanging out with my friends and being at school. I take part in FFA and on the school sports teams as a manager. Thier are sports that I don't like, soccer and tennis I just see no point in them.

        I also like animals. I love my animals, I have five dogs, two fish, one bird, and one cat. I work at Greg's Resturant on the weekends. During the summer I babysit and mow lawns. During the winter I plow the neighbors drive ways. In my future I want to become a vet and own my own practice. Then in my futher future I want to be able to retire and have a big house and have a family that I can leave my practice to.

        I also like riding in the woods on my four-wheeler. I have alot of fun with my two best friends in the whole entire world, Shannan and Kayla. We do about almost everything together, from shopping to going to school to just being ourselves and telling each other everything that we know. I love them to death and would do anything for them and for anyone else.

        Some of my dislikes are people with really bad attitudes. I also don't like some foods but that is a different subject. I absolutely hate bugs!!! That's about it about me. If you would like to get in contact with me e-mail me at ... patrish_91@yahoo.com or pattapoo_91@hotmail.com.  I hope to see you in Italy.
