Hi all. Have 5 min. to take a look at what it means to be a CIEE Host family? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/JrtJWtVb9v8 If you are at all interested in finding out more, let me know. Many of you have been host parents in the past so you know that every exchange is unique, just as every student is unique, but why not give it a try and see if you have an international son or daughter out there you haven't met yet?

Dzień dobry friends! I wanted to introduce you to Sandra. She is a Jr. this year in her high school in Poland and is dreaming about spending her grade 12 in the U.S. next year. She sounds like quite a remarkable young women who has strong language skills in both English and Spanish. She has a passion for music, studying both voice and piano, and hopes to participate in a choir during her time here. Sandra is also a Christian and says that attending services while she is here is important to her. Here's a brief introduction that Sandra wrote for you to read:

"Music is my life. The thing I love most is singing. I take classical singing lessons, although I’m mostly into metal and rock. I often go to concerts with my parents or friends, I think it’s great to see your favorite bands live! I also take piano classes, because I would like to be able to compose my own music. My dream is to have a band in the future and to perform professionally. I like English and Spanish. My goal is to be fluent in them. I like to watch American series and I used to be a big fan of Mexican soap operas - that’s how started my experience with learning Spanish. I like to travel too, until now I’ve been to 13 European countries. My biggest dream is to visit U.S.A or
Mexico, and now I can make one of them come true! Psychology is also my thing. I’m emphatic, people’s behaviour interests me. Plus, I enjoy healthy lifestyle. 5 months ago I decided to become vegetarian. I watched a film showing how the animals are treated and I’ve
seen their tears before getting killed. It touched me."

I really believe that Sandra would thrive in our area. Students come with strong English skills, health insurance, and spending money from home. All they need is a family (Singles, families with kids, empty nesters - all can be great!) who will love, encourage, and support them, provide 3 meals a day and a bedroom (can even be a shared bedroom with another same gendered teenager), and transportation to/from school. This could be the year that you say "Yes" to the life changing experience of hosting an international student.

Questions? Let me know if you are interested.
