AUSTIN RAIN , 25 YEARS

My name is Austin, and I am 17 years old. I live in the Philippines. I currently live with my father and my younger sister. Life in my early years had gone pretty well, but when my mother passed away last 2013, things got on a bit of a rough patch. It was very hard at first, but I coped up well and got the hang of it as time lapses. Year 2015, I graduated high school with several awards for excellency in different fields and school-oriented councils. But, due to a financial mayhem in my father's company, he was laid off from work. Times had been tough, and he had to wait a couple of weeks to get back on his feet and get accepted to a new company again. Because of the the crisis, my father and I have agreed that I skip a year of school, and let my younger sister continue going to school the next academic year.

I have an aunt in Denmark, and the United States who can support me when I'm there, but first, I'm gonna need the much needed help I can get from hosting families there. When it comes to working, I really get heads on especially when I am passionate about something. I am very good in English, and I can be really trusted especially with the household. I am a responsible young Filipino citizen, and I want to push myself to the limit when it comes to working hard. I also want to be exposed to a much different environment and culture. I enjoy making people happy, and I'm not a man of promises, but I can tell you that I'm the kind of person who will do my utmost best in any task assigned to me. As a young adult, I know how to cope well with children and be sensitive enough to pay attention to their needs, and I certainly can relate to them as my childhood years aren't really far gone. I hope I get to have a shot because I love proving to other people that I am worthy of their trust.
