    Description

    Host an Exchange Student : Meet Jacopo from Italy!

    Active Jacopo loves to be outside on two wheels; either on his bicycle or his motorbike! A systemic thinker and problem solver, he enjoys learning how things work and tackling challenges to find solutions. Jacopo is proud that he has used those skills in his own life, developing study strategies to become one of the best students in his class. He shows calm determination and patience, and he's a good listener. Jacopo can be a bit quiet at first but once he warms up he is friendly, funny, and engaging. Jacopo loves to travel and in looking forward to exploring his host family's community!

    In the future, he hopes to continue his studies in a field related to engineering or technology, because he enjoys problem-solving and understanding how systems function. He believes that experiencing a new school environment will help him become more adaptable and more open-minded qualities that will be useful for any career he chooses.
