High School memories.

The year came to the end so fast; my last year of High School is gone. These last four year, or actually three (because in Brazil the freshman year is no considered High School) were so good and past so fast. I can remember my first day in my first year. I can’t define one moment or experience that was most important. I had such a great time in these years; all the friends, the parties, the trips, or even the simplest moments were just the best. However one great experience was this last year, far away from home, school, and my friends but it was unforgettable. Every single day, the routine to take the bus, go to school and do arts, what I love to do, go back to home and met a awesome family that was so good to me. It can’t be described in words. I believe that this year was one of the best experiences that I ever had. There is so many good moments that I lived here, moments that I’ll bring with me forever. I am totally honest when I say that I love this place and all people that I had the chance to meet here. I’ll miss all that so much.

An unforgetable year.


Today is May 16th and I just realize, these are the two last weeks that I'll be in Nampa. When it comes to my mind I feel like... Well these feelings are really new and kind of weird to me. This year was worth in every single moment that it had. For me what were more worth this year, what I'll bring with me for the rest of my life, are the people. These people that I met here will be with me forever! Each one in a special way. My host family, my friends, even my teachers all them in a certain way helped me and made this year be so awesome and special. I truly love here, it became my second home.

Show and Tell.


“The Brazilian flag is made and supplied by one of custom flag makers’ affiliates’ flag line. They offer the Brazil flag in various sizes and materials. The sizes of the Brazil flag are 2’ x 3’ – 3’ x 5’ – 4’ x 6’ – 5’ x 8’ and materials used are nylon or Ultra-Knit 100% Polyester.”

So, here I am again. My first reaction to this assignment was… I didn’t have any; I had no idea of what to show and tell here. After think for I while I decided to show my flag. Not just the flag in the original sense, but what this flag represents for me, my home, my country. This flag, in many eyes is just a piece of fabric something without any value, but for me it goes a lot further than that. Every time that I look to this flag I remember of home, my origins. It make me think that one day I’ll be back and my family, my friends, people that I truly love will be waiting for me. It gives me strength to live day by day in this country.
