For those who want to know.. and I know you all do.. I was born Feb 3rd of 1994 in a well-known city: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At the age of 12, I moved to the States knowing little English, but with the help of teachers, parents, and myself I was able to achieve long and short term goals I had in mind. Since I’m from Brazil, of course I love soccer. I have played it all my life and I love to watch it too. After I moved to the United States, I started watching more basketball and started to like it. Now, every Friday I go play with some friends. It is easy to realize how society is different in every country because of different cultures. I lived in Brazil and grew up with soccer, so I love soccer. Then I moved here and saw basketball all around, so now I love basketball too. I’ve been influenced by society all my life. So have all of us. However, I do tend to criticize society sometimes for the some values taught to us that I don’t necessarily agree with. For my future I plan to help the world as much as I can. Specially poverty. I think poverty isn’t someone’s choice. They shouldn’t be penalized for where they grew up and the conditions they grew up in. Some of them have no choice and kids are suffering. My goal is to help them. All around the world. With whatever I can and however I can. Also, I believe that teens around the world aren’t doing as much as they can to help. I believe that should change and will over time to make the planet more united. This is how I am. This is who I am.
Birthday is coming up soon! Glad to have you in class. Hope you'll share your insights with our class and especially your experiences from Brazil.
