Rocco's Bio

Oi! My name is Rocco Davis! Even as I type this bio, I can tell how much better my life will be after this exchange. I grew up and live in sunny Ponte Vedra Beach. I am 17 years old and am in my senior year at Ponte Vedra High School. I play lacrosse for my high school, and participate in various clubs. I have two amazing parents and an older sister that is my closest friend. They are the best family a man could ask for. My parents Michelle and Rick, along with my 19 year old sister Caroline have been the most important people in my life, next to all my friends and loved ones. Since my parents are divorced, I live with my Mother while my sister attends college and I visit my father on occasion. My home is modest and my mother and I live basic lives. I will be spending a gap year in Brazil after high school graduation and before I attend college. I can’t express my excitement in words through a computer screen, but to say the least, this has been the most amazing process I have ever been a part of in my life! Most say that I am a funny, smart, and an outgoing person. I am lovable and kind to just about anyone I know. I love to meet new people and share ideas of any kind. I guess that is why I am doing all this, to experience the world and gain new points of view on all aspects of my life. I am not a dull person; I like to stay busy and perpetually active. I attend school, play lacrosse, work, play guitar and piano, surf, run, and try to do just about anything else that seems fun! I am taking part in this program because I want to gain a more global outlook. I dream of being able to accept another culture and really live in it. To meet new people and learn the ways of their lives is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I plan on bringing back all the lessons and tricks I learn abroad and helping those around me in any way I can. It really is true when I tell you, the world is YOURS, and all you have to do is run after it. This is truly a dream come true! Wish me luck!
