All this started almost a year ago, I was a boy full of dreams and hope (I still am hahahaha), I participated of a lot of promotions trying to travel to other places to know their cultures and customs.
But I wasn't going very well. My dreams was keeping smaller and smaller, I thought that I wasn't good enough, My dreams didn't deserve be realized. Until I discover the Youth Ambassadors Program. My hope became stronger again. How much I read about this program more I saw how amazing it was. Then I tried, and I was getting approved in the levels until being at the final. My heart was biting faster than a hammer. I never came too close. But I wasn't approved :_(
My deception was very big. I cried like I never did.
But God didn't forget my dreams and I discovered that as I was a finalist I would participate of another U.S.A Embassy program, the English Immersion Program. My eyes returned shining. I would go to Brasília and do a immersion in the English and American culture, and every body that participated before said that was fantastic and unforgettable.
And now that after a lot of anxiety I am here at Brasilia, I see how it's amazing and how will change all my life, the teachers, the others immersioners and the coordinators and everything is just awesome! The care that they have for us is unbelievable. I never learnt in a week what I learnt here.
The Eating (English*, ops!) Immersion Program will be on my mind forever and ever and I hope that my brothers and children do this someday, I don't wanna see only the birthday of ten years, but fifteen, twenty, fifty....
I just ask one thing to the coordinators of the program, continue changing teen lives better.
And I forgot to remember that this is just my second day, imagine how this week will be.
