Exchange student opportunity

We have several exchange students from China (and also other countries) that
would like to come to the US for high school next year. Here are two of the
students needing a home:

Ru Xue is a 16 year old girl from Guangzhou who will be in 11th grade. Her
favorite subjects are Ancient Chinese Literature and Biology. She says she
is outgoing and is always laughing and talking. She loves young children.
She is looking forward to being your "daughter and friend" and wants to
share her culture and cook some Chinese food for you. Her teachers says she
is easygoing, cooperative and always ready to help and feels confident she
will easily make friends with new classmates. She is a strong student and
scored well on her English proficiency test.

Sheng is a 16 year old girl from Shanghai who will be in the 11th grade.
Her parents are both doctors and her favorite subjects are Chinese and
English. She says she not only has a strong interest in languages but also
in the civilization behind it. She is a hard worker and leader in many
school activities. Her teacher says she has a high sense of responsibility
as well as a pleasant mature attitude and good interpersonal relationships
with her classmates. She also scored well on her English proficiency test
and is a strong student with mostly A's. She likes young children. She is
hoping the coming year will provide "a nice and unforgettable memory for
each other".

Host families provide a place to stay, students can share a room with a same
sex child but need their own bed. Families provide meals at home (and sack
lunches if desired) but students bring money for all other expenses and have
health insurance. They are not allowed to drive. And it should be a
wonderful opportunity to share US culture with the student and for you to
learn more about China.

Let me know if you have questions. I hope to hear from you!
