English Immersion Program: A week to remember

    Everybody is used to not pay attention to the details of life. This week I decided to change my ways of facing the world, especially because all of us (immersioners) are having some of the best experiences of ours lives.

   It's completely amazing to eat a lot of different food, to meet a lot of places and to travel, but what makes EIP exclusive are the details, the keepsake. I really won't forget the visit to the Embassy and the words I've listened there, like the "lucky fin". There is no challenge, no difficulty that can make us give up our dreams and this is the best "souvenir" I could get from Brasília, from the EIP. I can't describe how wonderful it is to talk to a lot of people from different states or countries and realize that we're all connected and united. Every smile, every hug, every feeling will stay with me forever and I wanna share this with all the people, because " the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others".  I met a lot of guys that I'll never forget and this makes me more hopeful about the world. 

   This immersion program is almost finishing (I've already cried a lot) and we all will go back to our houses, our cities, our families ready to continue living and giving our best always. I'm having mixed feelings and I think the best word to sum up this is gratefulness.

    So, I just want to remember: we need to value the details and make our lives worth it, because the EIP 2016 is  already worth it!
