Dear Future Host family, my name is Lidia, I want you to know a little about me, I'm sorry because my English isn't too well and maybe I will not express clearly.

I think my family and friends describe me like a person that you can talk with in the hard moments and really confident. They say that I really like to change of environment and although, at first I'm a little shy but I like to meet new people and make new friends.

I have a good relationship with my family. I've got a big family, I've got four aunts, four uncles and fourteen cousins on my mother's side. 

As be so much family we have to meet a lot for birthdays and celebration. My grandfather on my mother's side is really old he have eighty-eight years old and he lived on a war so he have interesting stories about his childhood. My sister and I have a really good time together, even when we were childs we never fight or argue, and if I need advice she is the first person that I ask for, but also in problems related to school I ask my mother too.      

At this age, friendships are really important I can't be all the time with my family and I need my friends to escape to the world, and obviously  the funniest time that I had been with them. But is not only funny thing friendships have bad thigs too, sometimes my friends hurt people, they don't realize what they are doing is wrong and they still thinking that the others got the fault.

I love drama I practise one day two hours of a week, I practise since I have six years old, I like it cause it makes me feel like I could be everyone and is a good way to change for a short time. Also, I paint and write because calm me a lot, but I don't give any class.

When I was on elementary school (in Spain until eleven years old) I practise karate but I didn't go to any competition cause the year before I started my school went to its last competition, also in elementary school I practise ballet, and I practise again the last year and I didn't remember anything but this year I can't still doing cause I have too many to study. In secondary I was "alumno en ayuda" consist of helping in the conflicts of your class and  in charge that there will not be any discrimination nor a case of bullying, this year I can't be one cause in my grade doesn't exist that project. I don't know what project I'm going to do this year because they don't start yet.

I really want to participate on this programme because, like I said before, I really like to change of environment and discover new cities; the last year my friends and I organised a travel to Milan, we make handcrafted books on the craft workshop, and we sold it, we don't collect enough money but I have a good a time selling the books. Also, I want to know different cultures, I want to know the cultures that we think that are exotic but there are their daily routine and I want, to seem the same to me, so better if is far to me because all is going to be more different. I want to meet new people because even I live in a big city I don't meet too many people because my elementary school and my secondary school are ones of the smallest of Madrid. I think this can be good for me when I come back because if I have to confront with a situation with persons that I don't meet or talk in public I'll have more skill and I won't be nervous.

Sometimes I still have difficulties to start with something, but then I concentrate a lot and  I can't stop. But the daily tasks, from the school and house, I don't have any problem to do it.

I think the only hard situation of my life happen when my parents were divorced, indeed I didn't care because my father didn't spend much time at home and now I see him alternate weekends, also because after the divorce they don't argue anymore, I think the divorce didn't care to me because at the same time my grandmother died and I was thinking about this more. When I was a child I use to think  that I was a witch who had powers and that was hereditary skipping one generation so my grandmother was it too but see didn't remember anything because she had Alzheimer.

When I grow up I want to be a psychologist and specialise on clinical psychology or sociology and be a member of the psychology team of Medecins Sans Frontieres. I like Spanish philology too, but I prefer to be a psychologist because I want to travel, although now I discover that exist a too may Cervantes College around the world and is another form to travel. I also want to be an actress but is highly unlikely to happen.

I hope to meet you soon, warm regards.

Lidia
