WANTED: FRIENDS
Meu primeiro tópico no jornal da escola. :D Não deu pra carregar a foto minha com a Pia (Alemã) que está na mesma escola que eu. Mas não vão ter dúvidas quando olharem as fotos.

"Velkommen til Norge"
"Hi everyone! This is a space where I am going to write about my experience year in Norway. Just making a short introduction of myself for the ones that I didn’t get to meet yet and hopefully we will get to meet:
My name is Cássio, I come from Brazil to Norway as an AFS exchange student. I am living in Ålgård with the family Hognestad and attending this school-year in Sandnes Videregående Skole as a RUSS. This school this year has got few exchange students but Pia, from Germany, and me will make it good ourselves.
Then, the question that most people when first talk to me asks scared as if it was something incredible to believe:
- “WHY NORWAY?”
That is an interesting topic to aboard here and also try to show you readers the reason by writing here.
I wanted to have an experience abroad, in a country not much known by me, live somewhere where everything would be new and maybe different for me, also to become a member of this difference. Norway has its great political and educational power, and that is interesting how the media worldwide is not focusing on that, seemed to be a reserved country and just making me really curious to explore this part of the world. Learning this “worldwide” language is not that easy, that is sure a challenge, even though that is not impossible to learn (“Not-hard” Grammar + Hard Pronunciation) Norwegian.
…
Beautiful country, beautiful people... I can really fell that I have made the right choice of country as a challenging experience of differences. This is a kind of challenge that I look forward more and more to every step I shall walk to discover where it will take me.
One month in Norway has already gone by and I am not actually acting as I first thought I would be, but I have one feeling inside that is growing up in every conversation with someone, even the times I just keep listening to some kind of “blablabla” it goes on growing. This feeling is called proud! Proud to be the person I am, proud of the family that brought me up giving me education and everything when needed, proud to be where I am now and make park of the mission that tends to promote peace, comprehension and tolerance between people around the world, proud to be chosen by a family that has also believed in this mission by accepting to share this experience with me, proud to see the hard work that, families, host schools are doing to welcome exchange students.
So, I wanted to make this mission keep on going at school even if I do not have a directly contact with all the students, and this is one of the methods of doing this. If you see me at school you can come and talk to me, just do it, exchange students need friends. "
