Introducing David Simonetti, Our 2012/2013 exchange student from Brasil
David is a very friendly and easy going 15 year old student from Brazil. Back home in Brazil he lives with his parents Angela and Danilo and his older sister Laura in a beautiful beachside condo.
He enjoys all kinds of activities, but he particularly likes playing sports. At home he swims, plays volleyball, water polo, basketball, horseback riding, wakeboarding, fishing, and hiking. Although he has never seen snow, he is looking forward braving the weather to trying out some Canadian winter sports. David also likes to travel. He has visited the US as well as England and France – he is hoping to get the chance to see lots of Canada while he is here.
The weather here has been a bit of a shock for him. At home the average temperature is 26oC. When he first arrived the temperature was familiar but our cooling days and cold night have been a challenge.
At high school David is taking Phys Ed, Geography, Math and Electrical Tech. He is really enjoying the Phys Ed class since it gives him the opportunity to learn many new sports. He has started to make friends in Woodstock including a number of boys from the school volleyball team that he is a part of.
David is very excited about his upcoming trip to New York City and Rotary day at the UN with other District 7080 exchange students.
He is looking forward to spending some time with each Rotarian so please look up his contact info and host family info on our website under Youth Exchange Inbound Contact Info.
