Living.

Last week I went to Acre with my school. It was an amazing trip because we managed to understand better how the seringueiros live. It is a trip that I would never have done if the school hadn't initiated it. It is an experience that I will never forget, especially becuase the lifestyles in Acre are completely different from the ones in Sao Paulo. Throughout the whole trip I was constantly reminding people that I am a "city girl". It was tough for me to get used to the whole setting. The difficulties that I had throughout the trip only made it even better, since I had the chance to see how their lives are extremely hard. I was amazed by how the people in Acre were so patriotic and felt proud of their own territory. It is something that I do not commonly see in São Paulo, excpet for whenever there's a soccer game on.
This trip made me realize how there are different ways of thinking and living. During school, we are constnatly debating about the political and social issues in the Amazon, however, it is nothing compared to actually experiencing it.

What are you goals?

These past few days have been extremely hectic. Final exams are coming up and all of the teachers and students are freaking out because they have so much to do in a short period of time. However, it has been very stressful for the seniors because they have to do college applications and study for the vestibular. I know that I am staying in Brazil for sure, since my parents don't want me to study abroad. I have been doing the vestibular for different universities, which is something extremely stressful. I am aware that I am only practicing, however, once you get out of the test, you literally feel mentally exhausted.
The main reason the vestibular makes me feel a little bit nervous is that I'm not sure of what I want to do. In the US you have some sort of flexibility to choose your courses, however, here in Brazil it is completely different. You do not have any choices of changing your course without having to pass through the vestibular again.
What are my goals? I have no idea what are my goals! HELP ME.
