I spent most time with my host family. After the school, I have nothing to do so daily life with host family is very important to me. They are very kind to me and my partner. I think it is not easy to accept the students who come from another country because it has many problems. It may have a difficulty in communication and it also undertake some responsibility to take care of the students. However, they did and do it very bravely.
My host-father is Bob. He is so fun. He always makes atmosphere active. My partner and I sometimes have a difficult time to continue the conversation but we don’t worry because Bob always helps us. He never feels annoyed when we requestto speak same thing again and again. Also, he is interested in Asian culture so he ask many question to us. After our answering, he usually compares America’s culture to ours and it helps us understand the difference between Korean culture and American culture. Bob promised us making his unique food to us. I remember it!! My host mother is Naomi. She comes from Indonesia. She is Asian so she understands us well. Especially, she is accustomed to eat Asian food such as rice and spicy food so it is comfortable to eat something like that.(Also, my host father likes spicy food.) She sometimes works very late so I am very sorry that she always takes us to the station in the morning. She looked so tired in that morning. I like her food. Her sandwich is good for lunch and Chicken Currie is really best. I love it.
Picachu and Yosi are also members of family. They’re pets but they have very important parts in home. First time, I was very afraid of them. Because I am afraid of all kinds of animals but now I can play with them. My host family told me that I am not afraid of animals any longer but I don’t think so. I am just familiar with Picachu and Yosi as family. I still avoid animals on the street. Picachu is old so he wants to stay in sofa and is sometimes tired of playing with me. I think he takes me younger than him. Yosi is so fun. He is very young and never feels exhausted. He is always ready to play. It is fun to play with him. However, he is angry with my partner and I because we left him in the house during holiday. I want Yosi good to us. I am a little bit afraid of him now.
This is my family. I have very good time with them. Maye without them, I might have very hard time in America. I feel comfortable at their house. Bob always confirms that “Out house, your house” to us. Also, they thinks my parents in Korea and suggest to call to my home. I appreciate it very much. I have two weeks in here. It is very short time but I’ll make good memories as many as possible. Again, I thank to my host family to accept us and make us feel comfortable like home. I love them!!!
