Self Introduction - Host Family and Language InstructorsDear Host Family and Language Instructors, A year ago, in the middle of a crowdedstreet in Jilin, China with two new friends, I maneuvered around street vendorsoffering unconventional variations of squid, snails, and roasted butterfly chrysalis. Itwas on this trip that I first experienced a culture that starkly contrasted mine. Thissummer, I returned as a US High School delegate again, visiting Weifang, Shandong.My parents opposed my decision to learn Chinese. My middle school did not offerforeign languages. My determination to deviate from the norm of my small town ofSturgis is one attribute that marks me as distinctive from other high school studentsand has allowed me to live a personally fulfilling life thus far. During college, I planon studying cultural and biological anthropology as well as East Asian studies. I hopeto continue to travel abroad throughout my studies. Hence, NSLI-Y is relevant to myfuture career goals. Mahatma Ghandi said, "A small body of determined spirits firedby an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history." I live bythese words. I hold several leadership positions in my community—serving as captainof my soccer team, editor-in-chief of my high school journalism program, and studentbody secretary. I also try to live altruistically; the Youth Advisory Council Iparticipate in gave over $21,000 last school year to youth-related projects. Motivatedby my childhood passion, I started a reading program at a local elementary school thissummer. I am excited to bring the skills I possess to your community and return withknowledge to advance mine. Enthusiastic is the word best describing my personality. Iam enthusiastic about life, my passions, and what I have to offer the world. I amdetermined in everything I do, despite others' doubts. These characteristics make mean ideal addition to your family. I can adapt easily, and prefer change in my schedule.Willing to meet the challenges of an unfamiliar environment, I have an inexpressibleamount of excitement towards being able to participate inthe NSLI-Y program. My friends describe me, in brief, as friendly and eager to makethe best of situations. Our relationships are supportive and worthwhile. I have diversefriends, which provides engaging conversations—I can learn something from them.My friendships last a long time—I met my best friend in first grade when she movedfrom Arizona and joined my soccer team. My family operates smoothly. Despitebeing opposites, my mother and I are particularly close; I thrive in stress and shedoesn’t. Jack, my brother, is more relaxed than me, but we both prioritize academicsand school work.
