Today! We had the opportunity to help a group of students of an English immersion program with their English. This students participated in a program to go to the United States, but did not make it. However, because of their English skills they have the opportunity to go to different locations in Brazil to improve their English.
As and American students we had to teach them about different sports famous in the United States like American football, basketball, baseball and soccer (even though they are better :)...). If you know me you know I am terrible at sports so I actually just watched, learn and took pictures :) and a picture with my new friend Lara.
It was great meeting them because I know as international student what is to learn English and to apply to an American college. Moreover, colleges in the United States are so different from the ones in Latin America and is not easy to be even with Americans, but it is not impossible. If you have a dream well a good dream fight for it at the end you may be the an open door for others to reach their dreams.
We found a Mormon in the group! and he is going to Utah in the fall!, but all these kids have the desire to go to college and hopefully some of them in the United States. Here are some pictures of the group teaching the high school students the different sports.
