I, Rosangela Brevet, am happy to share my story with you. In 2004 I left my country, Brazil, to participate in an exchange program. I lived with an American family for a year and had the opportunity to learn English. The opportunity I had was unique not only because I had learned English, but I also because I got to experience life in America, which is relatively different from the life in Brazil.

Ten years later, I am delighted to be an SPC student and to keep moving forward! I am current studying Health Information Technology, as I love any health or informatics subject. Also, I love being around international people and I am thankful to have the opportunity to work for the Center for International Program as a student assistant. Additionally, I am the president of the TS International Club; since we cannot be everywhere, the goal of the International Club is to bring other cultures into our lives and promote “thinking outside the box”!

Being a foreigner living in the USA hasn’t always been easy, but determination and persistence are winning characteristics that one must have if he/she wants to succeed.

Thanks to my experience in working for the Center for International Programs, I am happy to say I was hired by a local International company. I will take the experience learned while at SPC with me to my new career.

I’m proud of my accomplishments and will continue to follow my dreams!
