Now that the holidays are over and everyone is settling back down again into their daily lives, why not consider hosting a foreign exchange student for the 2019/2020 school year. STS Foundation is now accepting applications from prospective host families – all it takes to host is to provide a place for the student to sleep, three meals a day, and a willingness to share your life with one of our amazing students!
Meet Emma from Denmark - Most of the time I'm a quite happy person. I'm very honest and thoughtful. I usually worry about others before myself. Usually I'm not shy, and I don't have a problem making new acquaintances. I'm helpful and enjoy helping others out. I also love to hang out with my friends after school. I'm not very sporty, but I still like the thought of staying healthy, so I go for a run with a friend sometimes., I like to read books, but i also enjoy writing. Different short stories, mostly just for me. I also enjoy dancing. It's not something I go to, because of the not so good opportunities in my area. I really like to act as well. We only have one drama school in my area, and it isn't very good, but I have been in a few school plays.
And here’s Diego from Spain - I am a very active and sportive boy. I am also a very sociable person, so I think this experience may be a good one. Meeting new people and having new friends are some of the things I would enjoy about this experience. I´m a person who has lots of interests, for example I ´m always wanting to learn new things such as the culture of other countries or even at school I´m interested in nearly all the subjects. I think that I am also very mature and self-motivated., My interests are mostly related to sports (swimming, skiing and playing soccer), but I also have other cultural interests. For example, I love geography, knowing every place and learning interesting facts about them. I´m also interested in cooking. I usually cook on weekends with my father and we make really good dishes. Finally, I like to play videogames with my friends or going out with them. We usually go to the movies or to have dinner.
