Brazil Immersion
After many months of meticulously planning and preparing for our
Brazilian immersion trip, one can imagine the disappointment my
group felt as we discovered that our flight to São Paulo, Brazil had
been cancelled. However, after 65 hours of traveling, we arrived in
Brazil eager and ready to be immersed in the beautiful culture that
surrounded us. On our first day in Brazil, we had the opportunity to
spend the day at CECOIA. We were greeted by children, teens, and
adults who were very excited to have us there. Being of Portugese
descent, I am able to speak a bassic level of Portugese. I was so
happy to be able to practice my portuguese with people my own age
and learn new words and phrases. During our time at CECOIA, we
joined the children in various activities and games such as dancing,
soccer, musical chairs, and much more. We met teenagers our age
who spoke English very well. It was amazing to see how much we
had in common even though we lived so far apart. After the festivities,
we shared a meal with the CECOIA students and staff. After eating
only food from the airport for three days, we were so incredibly
appreciative of the magnificent meal we shared. The experience as a
whole was so culturally enriching and I will forever treasure the
memories and friends I have made.
