Laura Zillman - Brazil

I have been in New Zealand for 6 months and I can say that I am having the time of my life. In this 6 months I learnt more than in my whole life. I came here to learn a new language but in the end the most important things I learnt had nothing to do with English. I learnt to be independent, to think for myself, to overcome my insecurity. It has been an amazing experience, I tried new things, met amazing people who I will never forget and went to the most beautiful places .and I can say that coming here changed my life. It wasn’t easy in the beginning but I had a lot of support from my host family, the school and my organization which made it easier to adapt to this new culture.

New Zealand became my second home and now I know that I chose the right place to come in on exchange. People are always nice and friendly and everything is very different so there are lots of new things to see.  Coming in an exchange to such a great place was a unique experience and it’s impossible not to enjoy it. I am thankful to the school, my family and my organization for giving me    this opportunity.

 

Eu estou na Nova Zelandia a seis meses e eu posso dizer que foram os melhores meses da minha vida. Nesses ultimos meses eu comcerteza aprendi mais do que emminha vida toda. Eu vim pra ca para aprender outra lingua, mas no fim as coisas mais importantes que eu aprendi nao tem a nada e ver com o ingles. Eu aprendi a ser independente, a pensar por mim mesma, anao ser tao insegura. Tem sidouma experiencia incrivel e eu nunca vou esquecer os lugares que eu vi, as pessoas maravilhosas que eu conheci, e tudo que novo que eu pude tentar. Hojeeu posso dizer que vir pra ca mudou a minha vida. Nao foi facil no inicio mas eu sempre tiveo apoio da minha familia hospedeira, da escola e da minha organizacao o fez com que fosse muito mais facil me adaptar a essa nova cultura.

A Nova Zelandia se tornou minha segunda casa e hoje eu sei que eu escolhi o lugar certo para vir no meu intercambio. As pessoas sao sempre amigaveis, tudo e muito diferente e ha muitas coisas novas par aver. Vir em um intercambio em um lugar como esse foi uma experiencia unica e e impossivel nao aproveitar. Eu sou muito grata a escola, a minha familia e a minha organizacao por me darem  essa oportunidade.
