When I applied to UC-R scholarship, I was hopeful to be selected, but I did not really think it was going to happen. One week later, I opened the American Embassy's website to see if they had posted the result, and surprisinly my name was there! That was the beginning of a great life experience in the U.S.!
Before traveling, I found out that I was going to stay with a very good hostfamily. It was the same family that hosted the last student that got the scholarship. The hostmother sent me an email introducing her family, what was very kind of her. Finally, when I got here, I just figured out that my homestay was even better than I had thought! Every weekend they take me to a different place, such as Universal Studios and Las Vegas. There are three korean girls living with them too. One of them is my roommate, she is very kind and patiente. We usually go shopping and swimming - there is a swimming pool there! Besides that, I am having a great time at school. I am very glad because my classmates are a lot of fun! I would be very sad if I did jokes and everybody stared at me seriously!
Unfortunately, I am coming back to my country in two weeks, I am not able to stay more. Even though, I know the time I have been spending here really is worth it. Wherever I go, I will take with me all I have learned from the different cultures I have been living with.

It sounds like you have had a very good experience here. You will have many stories to tell when you return to your country. By the way, this was very well written!
