(8/30)  Urgent Plea for Host Family

This is an urgent plea for you to consider giving a foreign exchange student an opportunity to live and study in the US this school year.  If Songyee does not find placement by the end of the day on August 31, she will be unable to participate this year.  Here is her profile:

Songyee lives in Suwon. Korea with her parents and her sister Jung Yeon who is 16.. Her mother is a housewife and her father a butcher. She will be 18 in May and in the 12th grade when she arrives for the 2010/2011 academic year. Right now, she is an exchange student and attends school in Taiwan to learn Chinese. At school, her favorite subject is Korean and she would like to become an English teacher in the future. She likes children and thinks that teaching would be a rewarding career. Her English teacher highly recommends her. At home, she helps her mother with cleaning the house and doing the dishes. Songyee describes herself as adaptable , extroverted, friendly, optimistic, and sociable. She says that she is open to other cultures. She like computers, basketball, bicycling, going to the movies and skiing. Songyee wants to come to the US to learn to speak and write English fluently like an American.
