Hi! I’m Mario, a motivated and active 15-year-old student from Bolivia who enjoys learning and sharing with others. Sports are an important part of my life; I train regularly in soccer as a forward and serve as a team captain, which has helped me develop leadership. I have earned first- and second-place awards in competitions, which motivates me to keep improving. I also practice padel, a sport I enjoy because it’s dynamic and social. Being active has taught me discipline, teamwork, and consistency. At school, I’m a committed student with a strong interest in subjects like biology, chemistry, history, and language, and I enjoy participating in Model United Nations, where I develop public speaking skills and learn about global topics. I’m excited to improve my English, experience American high school life, and become part of my host family’s daily routine by sharing time and new experiences together. I am very grateful to the program for selecting me. Thank you! #190307
