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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cthinking outside the box\u201d!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/ros22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"ros22\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/ros22-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a>Being a foreigner living in the USA hasn\u2019t always been easy, but determination and persistence are winning characteristics that one must have if he\/she wants to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>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.
