Hello everyone!!

My name is  Robson Souza, and today I'm starting my blog...so enjoy it.

I’m a WESL student at Western Illinois University. Frist of all, I would like to tell a little about me: I have 26 years old and I’m from Brazil, there, I study Civil Engineering at Bahia State University. Like many Brazilians guy, I love to play soccer with my friends, to speak the truth, I love all kind of sports. During the next one year in a half I will live here in the WIU, I have many expectations with my academic life and social life, because, to live in a different country with different culture is a little hard, but I am enjoying this new experience. My goals here in the U.S is to improve my English skills, learn more about Civil Engineering, building a network knowing new people and become a better person.

 I spend my free time watching videos from TED, going to gym, talking with my friends and my family in Brazil. This first week here was more difficult to me, because I miss my family and girlfriend, what keep me calm is the thinking that they are fine.

Is an amazing experience to live in another country, living another culture is the opportunity to see the life from another angle, this open your mind and you become a better person, I trust it.
