If you're interested in exciting stories with a lot of adventures, I have a warning: this is not that kind of story. You can still read this, though (I'm a nice person).
The first drop: what or who has influenced me?
First of all, I live in a small city called Vidal Ramos (Santa Catarina) and we don't have many opportunities there to study English or to do something in this area. On the other hand, we do have a LOT of incentives in my school and a lot of people that believe we can do anything. So, I heard about the program from a friend who has applied to the Youth Ambassadors 2013 - she's a teacher now, by the way - and she got to the English Immersion Program. Since that time, she has been supporting me and telling me that I can not give up.
Throwback Thursday
I applied to this program for the first time in 2014, but I didn't pass the selection that was made in Florianopolis. I was kinda upset at that time, but now I can see how much this made me grow and helped me to become an Immersioner when I applied the second time.
I don't think I would "change" my mistakes, cause I really learned with them. The only thing I regret is the way I was ashamed to talk in English cause I thought that I might've been saying something wrong. That made me really insecure, but I worked hard to fix that.
Fragmented
Now I'm in the EIP and I can't believe we have to leave tomorrow (actually, I still can't believe that I'm here). I didn't have so much time to meet everyone here, but I'm sure that I'll come back to my city with a "piece" of a lot of people - like the "quadradinho" that I (almost) learned (thanks Karline) -.
Last but not least, I just want to say this program was one of the best things that could happen to anyone, so if you really want to apply for this test DO IT.
If you have anything to ask or anything to suggest, please leave a comment here (even if you don't, just do it).
