Personal Narrative: My Country Of Brazil

Twightlight was falling as sneaked through the shabby building as narrow passage way, no one could see me , that was the way I like it no one could ever see. It was the one thing I had which I could control, constantly all day I was surrounded by “rifle” names drug talk. sometimes I longed for a safe cocoon somewhere where there was no worries. But here it was constant and I excepted that, since whenever I could remember I was on my own, in the dusty red, streets violence fighting violence and not just the outlaws the government too. Rubbish was piled high in some areas a dumping ground of the upper rich. However, this was no slum. The favelas, were small corrupt pockets built up in remote jungles, no one could get out.

You probably heard of Brazil but, do you know much about it? Brazil is a beautiful place or country, in South America. It’s great for tourists’ sites; it has amazing land features, and especially cool culture and history. Brazil has a tremendous amount of nature and folktale. Brazil was found actually, over 8,000 years ago. The Portuguese were the first European settlers to arrive there. The journey was led by Pedro Cabral who began in the 1500s. When they finally got there they found Native Americans living there. They were around the seven millions.

-I learned error, I made it the Dominican Republic and was to have given affection, friendship and confidence to people who did not deserve. This happened out of nowhere and It was created a serious mistake in my life, people existed which gave him affection, help and there was no care about anything. I started to love and treat them like family to me, they were people who shared daily, at school, my free time and the more things. Always looking for the best for everyone on Regardless nothing, always I wanted to know how they were, everything.

This question drove me back to high school. I attended a military school back from my home country, Ecuador, we only where surrounded by males. It was not difficult for me to cope, because I was in my comfort zone. However, I moved to New York City 10 years ago and I am still in the process of adaptation. I am still seeking to develop coping skills to adapt to my new environments, work, school, friends. Similar, I wanted to fit in and I seek for people that look, think and come from my same backgrounds. But, I did not give myself the opportunity to look for other friends. I even isolated myself. Once I started to give the chance to other people I got in trouble, because they want to use you, people want to take advantage of you one way or another,

Upon our arrival to The Dominican Republic, my mother informed me that we were going to spend most of our vacation at my grandparent’s house. Immediately, I was filled with exhilaration. After so many years, I would finally visit my beloved grandparents. I had already visualized what spending the summer at their house would be like. Rolling in the sand of the clear see-through beaches, listening to the birds sing and chirp around us as we savor our early morning breakfast, enjoying the sound of waves smashing into the rocks on the shore, and laying in an air-conditioned room when the temperature got too high.

Much like the U.S., Brazilian culture is extremely diverse. Brazil’s current population of 190 million represents various nationalities from European to African (Country Facts). Brazil has an extremely diverse culture with some common pervasive threads that grouped together give Brazil a national identity.

My grandmother, Anastasia Herrera, fearing my father’s death was imminent, put him on a plane bound to the United States. Apparently, my dad, barely fifteen years old at the time, had joined the Constitutionalists revolution in Santo Domingo. This rebel group was comprised of military agitators and civilian combatants fighting against Trujillistas or politicos adopting the imperialistic ideals of the fallen Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. My father was not an idle supporter, but rather an active participant who manufactured Molotov cocktails, flinging bombs at law enforcement officers in the streets while the civil war gained momentum.

I am a native of a tiny rural town in Brazil. I am also a former student from one of the biggest universities of my country, located in one of the biggest urban centers on Earth. I am atheist, even though I come from an extremely catholic family - the kind who believes praying is the answer for nearly every problem. I have ancestors from Nigeria, England, Cameroon, Portugal and Finland - and some native Brazilians in the mix. I am a bisexual woman who stayed in the closet for almost two decades, until I finally left my conservative town. My family is half composed elementary school teachers and strawberry farmers, half composed by lawyers and judges. I am diverse by nature, thus, fighting for inclusion and diversity in society has being a way of survival for me - sometimes, the only way.

Brazil is rich in natural resources. It has some of the largest iron ore deposits in the world and is

The connection with the community I am being designated to work with could not be more ideal. I will be working, primarily, with low-income Brazilian communities in the Boston area. This specific group is literally what I was growing up in Massachusetts. My parents immigrated to the United States in 1989 with no connections and a few hundred dollars to their name. After the birth of my two sisters and I, my parents each worked two jobs and my grandmother came over from Brazil to take care of my sisters and me. For a long time, we were a very low-income family and I had three amazing parent figures that never made it feel that way. The Brazilian community, at the time, also was very supportive to my family and it was great to have such a strong support group. Eventually,

Many schools can barely afford to teach those subjects, which means that courses like art and music are often left out in poorer areas. The average class size is 30 or more students. Most schools do not have a computer in the classrooms, or have only one or two computers for 30 students to share. In Brazil, the amount of money that the government invests on education compared to other countries around the world is a significant poor amount. Many public schools in Brazil are extremely bad there can have problems such as many people in one class because private schools can be expensive, teachers do not get paid properly, the school environment and conditions are not suitable for the students, poor infrastructure, the school can not afford materials, lack of teachers and in some cases violence.

I was going on a business trip to Brazil, I planned on leaving on the following Monday. The easiest way to get to Brazil was to fly. I packed my bags with the typical things you might need, extra clothes, toiletries and some food. The night before I went and had dinner with my family at a nice restaurant. We arrived, had dinner and talked about my business trip that I was going to tomorrow. They said that we were having a family reunion when I return. I said my goodbyes and returned home to sleep before I headed to the airport the next day at 9:00 am. I woke up, grabbed my bags and headed out the next morning. The airport was packed, even at this time in the morning. I grabbed some food from one of the food

America is an individualistic culture, informal dress code, more direct than the British, results and experience matter more than background or connections, work long hours, address each other very informally, competition is a positive fact, the communication style is energetic and positive, expects hard working individuals with constructive attitude, and value personal space and privacy

Three year ago I live in other streets, happier with other types of people. Now, I live in Santiago of Chile. Some times I ask to myself if my decision was good or not. I come looking for a better education. I study rights in the University of Chile. It is a hard carreer because the professor's are chauvinist. When i have my first case of a rape, my professor say that I can't defend to the raper because i'm a woman.

Brazil appreciates that their country is the country of choice of thousands of refugees that wish to seek protection and safety.
