"The exchange experience affected many aspects of my life. I met a lot of people and lived in a totally different culture from mine, what made me more open to new opportunities and more open-minded. Getting out of my comfort zone also demanded more responsibility from me and made me a more outgoing person. I also improved my english a lot." (Isabela Soares) O intercâmbio afetou muitos aspectos da minha vida. Eu conheci muitas pessoas e vivi em uma cultura completamente diferente da minha, o que me tornou uma pessoa mais mente aberta e mais aberta para novas oportunidades. Sair da minha zona de conforto também demandou mais responsabilidade da minha parte e me fez uma pessoa mais extrovertida. Eu também melhorei muito meu inglês. |
