1.) What do we do differently in American schools than in Brazilian schools?
In Brazil we stay in the classroom and the teacher change around us. Also, we can carry our book bags around, and our semester begins in February and then we are off for 2 weeks in June and then we start up in July to November
2.) What was your biggest culture shock?
I got lazy and I ate a lot of fast food. I think that the food was a big factor, and not having my parents here with me.”
3.) What made you want to come to the U.S.A.?
I want to be a diplomat and for that I have to be fluent in four languages.
So right now I am fluent in English and Portuguese, and I can speak Spanish, French, and German partially.
4.) How long have you been studying English?
I took a course for six years and then I came here.
5.)What is the easiest subject you have?
They are all easy because I have already taken them.
6.) Who are you staying with?
I am staying with Joanne Kline in Jarrettsville
7.) How did you hear about North Harford?
I heard about this school from my host family. I originally went to Patterson Mill, but that family and I were not working out so I moved. People in North Harford are much nicer and more welcoming than Patterson Mill students.
8.) What is the most interesting thing about North Harford to you?
That this school has a farm attached to it. You don’t see that in where I am from.
9.) Where did you live in Brazil?
I lived in Amazones, which is the state, and the city is Manaus. It is near the Amazon forest.
10.) What do you love most about Brazil?
What I love most is that we have a lot of parties and we are very friendly. For example we like to hug all the time. Also, the beaches are beautiful and we have a lot of cool monuments.
