About Me

Hi there! My name is Valeria. I am from Algemesi, Spain (which is about the same size as Manitowoc). I am a freshman this year. I decided to go abroad for a year to get better at English, meet new people, and do more with my life. Not that my life is bad, but this type of experience exciting!

​

I am very close with my parents, and I have 2 cousins that are like brothers to me. I am nervous to be away from them, but I know that my host family will make me feel better. They will help me grow in Manitowoc. I am also Christian, so I am happy to be going to a Christian school where I can talk about my faith.

​

I love to dance and hope to be on the cheerleading/dance team at MLHS. I also like everything related to the arts: drawing, painting, drama, etc. While in America, I would also like to get along well with my host family, since family is important to me.

​

I have been studying English for 3 years, so my English is okay. I find listening the hardest, so you might have to slow down when you speak to me. I know it will be difficult learning in a new language at first, but I will continue to work on it throughout the school year!

​

I would like my host family to have 2 parents. I am good with children and pets, though I have no preference towards animals. I am excited to find out who my host family is!
