My name is Thibaut, I'm 17 years old and I live in Laigné en Belin, a town about 15 km (9 miles) from Le Mans.
I live with my both parents and my brother Raphaël, who's thirteen. I don't have any pets: I dislike them (and they dislike me).
I'm in "Terminale" (last year of High School) with a specialtity in sciences in "Lycée Gabriel Touchard" (Gabriel Touchard High School) even if I'm not very keen
on sciences, I prefer literary subjects like French, English, History or Philosophy.
When I'm not at school, I like being with my friends in pubs, clubs, or going shopping.
Otherwise, I like going to the cinema (celebrity is one of my favourite film: I'm a big fan of what Woody Allen does).
My favourite artist is, with no hesitation Roy Lichtenstein
I like reading books too. I really like Chuck Palahniuk (Choke, Survivor...), an American novelist, and his French counterpart,
Frederic Beigbeder.
I enjoy going to the Alps to practise winter sports: Ski, Snowboard...
I like swimming and running too.
I'm also a big music fan.
I like every kind of music and the French-Electro-Wave is my favourite: Teenage Bad Girl, Justice, Mr Oizo, Sebastien Tellier, Para One, Orgasmic le
Toxicologue...
I really like Jazz (Franck Sinatra), Rap (Snoop Dogg), and Soul music (Motown Artists) too.
I'm very happy to go to America because I want to confront the portrait that French and American medias give us with reality. In addition, I want to prove American
people that French are well-brought-up and break all the stereotypes about us...
My name is Heloise, I'm 17 and I live in Parigné L'Eveque a small country village about 15 km from Le mans
I live there with my dad and my 2 brothers who are 15 and 12, Thomas and Simon.
At school I'm in "terminale" (the last level of high school) where I mainly study Sciences, but in fact I don't really like sciences !
I practise Athletics twice a week, I like going to the cinema, being with my friends, going out, reading (one of my favourite authors is Bret Easton Ellis) and
travelling.
There are a lot of movies that I really like, notably this one
Breakfast at Tiffany's
I love Sean Penn's movies too
I love listening to music, particularly pop/rock music. At the moment I love Coldplay and Amy winehouse
I'm really happy to go to Greenville because I've already been to the United States and I love this country but I've never been to South Carolina so I'm really
anxious to go there and discover new things and new people !
She is one of the teachers organising this exchange.
She is very proud of her Breton origin and she loves walking on the seashore. She is family dedicated, with the help of science if necessary and often reminds her two children and her companion
that a mother is NOT a cleaning lady!
She used to be a cheerleader but as far as we know, she has never been saved by any handsome hero in order to save the world...or has she????
When it comes to food, she cannot hide the fact that she is a chocolate-addict (her students now know what to do to get good marks!!!!) and she's
ravenous when it comes to dessert!
She's a party popper and an adaptable broad-minded compassionate individual but lazy enough not to over do it! Her last trip was a weekend in
London with her 12-year-old girl.
She's curious, ironic (a bit sharp sometimes though!), witty (if you haven't noticed yet!),
easily pleased, and loves having liars as friends!
Her favourite author is Paul Auster
Her favourite film is "The big Blue"
Her favourite group is U2 and the last concert she went to was Matmatah (yes, she's definitely from Brittany!!!!!)
She tends to relax very quickly in a friendly atmosphere and has trouble refraining herself from telling silly jokes!
She will inevitably end up laughing loudly if left for a few hours with her favourite colleagues...
She's so dedicated to work that she is always ready for an intensive and intense session of training with her colleagues...in department stores!
She had a life prior to becoming a teacher!!!!!
She's too demanding with her poor students!
She's idealistic, peaceful and patient as long as she doesn't have to mark copies!!!

be happy.

I endanger my future by my youth.

She's allergic to any kind of sports after being addicted to gymnastics in her youth, but still rocks at rock'n roll dancing!
When it comes to food, she's not polite enough to accept vegetables (cause she REALLY HATES veggies!), but determinate enough to force herself when it comes to her body shape's sake...she would
kill for cheese, cream, whipped cream and sweets though! She's ravenous when it comes to dessert!
She's a party popper, a globe-trotter, and an adaptable broad-minded compassionate individual but lazy enough not to over do it!
