The BETUSA Program finished, however we will take all learning about american culture. The Big Apple, on the other hand, NEW YORK will be in our minds forever. I'm going to miss you so much. Now the future will be different, because we have the power to change everything in our lives. We aren't the same, because we will take a little bit of NYand we share the knowlege with our students and friends from Brazil. Some dreams became real because we belived in them. Thanks so much St. John University for you are be part in our lives. We are much more together!!!!

THANKS SAINT JOHN'S

Last day in New York! I'm very happy because I'm coming back home. However, I know that this great university and its team of competent teachers could help me much more. But there isn’t more time. Now, I will use everything I have learned from these wonderful people and I myself will seek a way, because you showed me the tools and how to do. I'll really miss everyone. What I lived in your country you will be forever in my memories. Thank you USA, NY, Thank you Saint John's, Betusa, Brazil, Thank you Everybody!

This is our last week in The United States. For all of us Brazilian students these six weeks in New York was a great and fascinated experience. All of our professores are good and kind. During this period of six weeks we could learn many interesting things that we didin`t know yet.
In the mornings from 9 to 12 o`clock we have English Refinement Classes with professor Aaron  Royer,  The Language Educator at The Language Connection at St. Johns University. In Aaron`s classes we learned about important things that happened in the United States, such as the main landmarks, sports, music, movies, as well as  about the Amreican History, and of course, we have learned much more vocabulary and
pronunciation.
In the afternoon We have workshops with different profesores, including Aaron. These workshps show new techniques for teaching English and houw to use the computer in classes of English.
All what we are learning here will be useful and  applied in our English classes  as soon as we return to Brazil. I`m sure everyone will do that.

Oh, no!!!! One more week... snif...snif...
