Mr. Ortega,
My name is Raúl Pasadas Espejo and i'm 17 years old. Now i'm doing my last year of high school and when i finish i would want to study in USA.
I think that i deserve that grant because i'm from a humble family and i've worked a lot these years to have a chance like this one for change my life and have a better future.
I'm a funny, sociable, ambitious and athletic boy that enjoys the little things of my life like spend time with my family and friends. I live in a little town in Spain called Santa Margarida de Montbui, close to Barcelona, and i live with my mom, my dad and my sister, we have a dog and a cat. My favourite hobbies are sports, specially football, and music, i can't spend a whole day without listen to music is a very important part of my life it helps me to relax and concentrate.
My main qualities are that i'm very responsable, i'm smart and i work very hard for the things that i want, like this grant.
I have a good level of english, but i want this grant for improve it and for a lot of more things like met an other country and people, train me for my future...
This is a little explication about me and my life, thanks for give this chance for people it is a very good initiative and the chosen ones would be so proud and happy to have it and will never forget the experience.
Yours faithfully, Raúl.
