 Hi everybody,
I am Arthur from France, I am 16 and I am really lucky
because I will turn 17 in Florida!! I have to tell you a little about
myself, let me do that and begin with my life in France: I am the oldest of
a family of three children. My two brothers are younger than me: Cesar, the
second, is fourteen and Ulysse, the younger is eight. I live with them and
my parents in Croix, near the big city of Lille in the North of France. I
really like my family, we always have great times when we are all together.
We are used to travel a lot, a least once a year to a foreign country.
But... I never had the chance to come in the USA. That has always been a
dream for me... and now, the dream comes true!!
In my professional life, I would like to be an airplane
pilot. To achieve this aim, you need to speak English fluently. That is the
first reason of my trip. After that, I love to discover new countries, new
cultures, new ways of life. As I told you, I have been in a lot of different
parts of the world with my parents, but I have also been some trips on my
own. For example, last summer I have been in a one-month-trip to Mexico. And
that was one of the best months of my life! It is not very usual in France
to leave your family for one year at my age, but, it was impossible for me
to wait! So the Rotary gave me a beautiful present! I am now in Florida for
the whole year!
In France I used to practice fencing, I think I am not so
bad and I really enjoy playing this sport. However, I had to stop this hobby
because I had too much work at school... So I hope that I will be able to
find a new sport here in Florida. I tried to surf just before coming and I
really liked it. I would like to be able to tell you how the waves are in
Florida as soon as possible! In another hand, Soccer is THE sport in France,
and I absolutely hate it! But I am really interested in the great sport that
is Football. First of all I have to learn the main rules and maybe I will
play after.
In France I like to hang out with my friends, go to the
movies, have some parties, or just spend all the evening in a park speaking
with them. I hope that I will be able to make some friends easily but also
quickly! I can not live alone!! But I am not shy so I think that i won't
have any problem.
I think that I told you the main things about myself. I am
sure that this year in Palm Coast will be at least... the best year of my
life! |
