I just found out about my host family, the Silveira's. They live in Goiania, Brazil just a few minutes away from my school. They have three kids, a cute little girl who is two, and two sons that are nine and ten. Thats going to be different! I just talked with my host mom and she is so nice!
Here is a picture of my host mom and her daughter Celine behind her house
Unfortunately I will be in school from 7 am until 6pm, ahh! I guess I'll be really busy over there, I'm not sure exactly what I will be busy with.
It's only nine days until I leave and I can't wait!! I've started making lists of everthing that I am going to need (which will consist mostly of shorts and tank tops because its super hot over there!). My host mom told me that I will only need one sweater for backup so it really lightens the load, which is really helpful because there is a one-suitcase limit to what I can bring!
Also, I wanted to thank Vovo, and Tio Luis and Tia Denise, Raquely, and my parents everyone who has donated money to make this whole experience possible for me! Thanks to them, the tuition is now paid (the ChipIn feature is not updated).

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I'm doing an AFS exchange to Brazil right now! =D
ReplyDeleteYou're really going to love it here, I think! =D
(y) I've never been to Goiana, but I live in the same region (center west), and it's VERY different, but I LOVE it!
Good luck!
