James

I am a 15 year old male student from New Zealand who enjoys being active in the outdoors. I play waterpolo, and train regularly, which has helped me develop discipline and teamwork skills. I also enjoy sailing and being around water, as I have been involved in it for many years, from a club to a national level. At school I have participated in activities such as the Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze award, and enjoy pushing myself both academically and personally. In 2025, I achieved numerous Excellence results in my internal assessments, and achived my numeracy CAA (University Entrance). This puts me above most students in my cohort. I would describe myself as a chatty, friendly, motivated person who is open to new experiences.I’m excited to go on exchange because I want to fully immerse myself in American life and be part of a new community, not just observe it. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and learning how others live, while representing my home and country New Zealand. *First Semester #196375
