SãoPaulo是世界上最好的商业中心之一。这是巴西拥有大多数实习机会的城市。距离我的家乡,巴西利亚也超过620英里。在我的暑假前很快就是我意识到我必须来到这里才能获得良好的专业夏季体验。自从我第一次来到这里已经53天了。自从我留下了舒适的家。我经常想念我的家人,同时让自己放心我举行的伟大机会。我还剩下35天,甚至无法在这次旅程结束时设想我的个人成长量表。

The first weeks were a bit more challenging: I had to go to the supermarket and figure it out how much food was enough. The reality hit harder in small steps when I realized that I wasn’t going to have dinner if I didn’t cook. My clothes would not be cleaned if I didn’t take the time to do laundry. I thought I was going to cook an entire meal every night and dine on the table as I usually did with my family. After a few days of arriving at 10 pm, however, I settled with fast omelets and quickly prepared “tapiocas”. As a person who loves routines, I believe the challenge was well suited. I was able to maintain a practical and realistic routine that I am hoping to keep at college.

它可能已经服用了一段时间来适应,但我期待着我在圣保罗的明年暑期实习。没有什么比在巴西的街道上行走,在家里感觉。归属感是独一无二的。最好的感觉出来午餐,而我在繁忙的街道上瞥了一眼寻找试图决定哪个地方有最好的传统米饭,豆类和布格达罗吃的地方。即使我远离Brasília,我现在可以在圣保罗说,我发现了一个家的家园!
