Foreign exchange student

You are a foreign exchange student, living and studying in the United States for a semester. You have been assigned the Lutz family as your hosts for that time, and you are anticipating the adventure of living in America and integrating into this new family.

This family had several choices of several students when they were chosen as a host family. They could have selected Raja, a boy from a privileged background in India; Tomika, a girl from Japan, who is experiencing life away from home for the first time; Helena, a girl from Central Europe, who seems rather worldly; Sergio, a boy from Brazil, who seems to have lived a rather sheltered life; or any number of other possibilities.
