FFO14072 - Girl. Iria is a 15 year old girl coming to the US on full scholarship from SPAIN. "I love having fun and everybody says that I am a sociable and happy girl. Right now, I am having drama lessons and swimming. I also enjoy so much rollerblading, soccer and dancing. When I am in my program I would like to join to drama club, learn surf and leadership and oratory classes, but I would look for more in USA. As a volunteer I don´t really know, but baby-sitting would be a good choice for me. I have been living with a host family in Ireland for six months and it was really good! My Irish sisters came to my home last summer. I have one brother and a rabbit and two turtles. I want to be a great actress, but if it doesn´t work, I would like to study International relations or something related to communication." GPA: 3.90 SLEP Score: 61 Program Length: 10 months; Private School: No. Allergies: None
