Hello, I am Mara from Germany. I am 16 years old and I live with my parents and my younger brother in a large city in Germany but I also grew up in the countryside. I really like animals, especially dogs. My hobbies are athletics, reading, listening to music, and playing the violin. I have lived in the US twice for half a year each with my family and would love to go to a High School as well. Currently, I am a 10th grade student at a public High School. My favourite subjects are Maths, Biology, History, and English. I am really excited about my year abroad and I am looking forward to meeting you. I also wanted to mention that I am vegetarian. This might be important for the host family to know. #174105
