Diego's Bio

Hi everybody. My name is Diego. I'm from Brazil, my district in brazil is 4530. I am 17 years old.

I am enjoying of my life in Florida. I live in Ocala, arrived here in August 8. I study in West Port High School. I am in 12 grade. I like my school here - is very different of my school in Brazil. I have 6 disciplines - photography, American government, physics, Spanish, English and beginning weight training. I like everybody teacher. My favorite class is American government. I was very confused in the beginning but now I am better because I have learned more English here.

Xauuu everybody, have a good day.

October 22 Journal

Hi everybody!

Now I have been here more than two months. I am enjoying it here - everything is different to me, everything is new to me, food, clothes, American people and somethings more.

I have here every day soccer practice and I think when you play sports in America you have a very good time, you enjoy more you know more people you make more friends and you are best known in your school. My day here after I start my soccer practice is very busy. I play every day after school and I need go to the church every Wednesday and Sundays and I like that, my host family is very nice with me always.

Sometimes it seems that I'm in my house in Brazil - I’m having a wonderful time in this house. And the last weekend I had a wonderful time with my friends exchange students in St Augustine. I really enjoy this city and I loved walk from boat and see dolphins is so nice. I arrived there Friday I guess 6 o’clock and I go to the house with a wonderful couple. It was me and another student, Kris from Lithuania, and we go to the beach Friday with our host Dad and host Mum and in the night go to the restaurant and we eat Mexican food and Saturday we walked in St Augustine and after go to the beach and play soccer and volleyball. And Sunday go to the alligators park and after walking from boat. WONDERFUL TIME my best weekend in Florida.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ROTARY. I’m anxious to go to the Disney in December. Thank you for your attention.
