What a harmonious family they are! – Berry’s family by JaYoung Son

Berry’s family is my host family, which consists of Spencer, Kim, and their 2 children Lizabell and Lilly. When I met them for the first time, they were so kind to me that I could feel relief about leaving Korea and home-staying in the unfamiliar country, America for a while.

In short, Berry’s family is so outgoiing and active. They enjoy a wide variety of sports or outdoor activities. For instance, Lizabell and Lilly go swimming almost every morning. As well, their favorite place is Hoodriver because they amuse themselves going wind-surfing. Last weekend, we all went to there and it was one of the windiest place that I had ever gone to. Contrarily, Kim said that she wanted tougher and stronger wind which can give her a thrilling experience. Furthermore, I was shocked that the whole family continued wind-surfing for more than 5 hours without any rest at all. In my point of view, Berry’s family is full of power and energy and they get a pleasure from confirming their life of energy.

On the other hand, they have a delicate sensibility for music. Lizabell and Lilly, they are capable of playing the several music instruments such as a piano, flute, and guitar. Especially, Lilly can write songs and she has lots of concerns about a piano. Yesterday, she played ‘The phantom of the opera’, which attracted my feelings. Also, all the family went to a classical music concert in which we could listen to the sound of a 300-year-old violin. How amazing!

To sum up, Berry’s familiy tries to achieve harmony of both body and mind. Although they are not my blood relatives, they’re the most fundamental helper for me. During my home-staying period, I want to make a wonderful memory that will be remembered forever.
