Oi! My name is Devin ,and I`ve been in Brasil for one week through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program! :) It was quite an experience getting here, and just being here.
To get to Brasil I had to fly from my home in Alaska to Seattle, stay the night in Seatlle and then catch a flight the following morning to Atlanta, Georgia. When I arrived in Georgia I didn´t have alot of time so I rushed to my gate to catch my flight to Sao Paulo. I was a little nervous to be going, I had been looking forward to coming to Brasil for a very long time! So, I was also really excited! On my flight to Sao Paulo however, they had to turn the plane around and fly back to Atlanta due to problems with the plane`s communication equipment or something like that. So we turned around where we then immediatly caught a different flight to sao paulo. After that I cuaght a flight in Sao Paulo to Belo Horizonte.
It took along time to get here, but I´ve been here for only a short time and love it!
Everyone is so friendly and inviting even though I speak like next to no portugese (I`m learning though).
Today is my third day at school, and I`m in English class! lol :) All my other classes are in portugese! All the classes are very different as well. In Alaska the students are the ones who walk around to their different classes, here the teachers are the ones who change rooms. So we have the same class room almost all the time. It´s nice because you really get to know your classmates, whereas if we changed rooms you might not be able to.
I also love the food here! I swear I probably havent stopped eating since i got off my flight, but brazilian food is all very good. So far my favorite is Açai!! It`s soo soo good! but not very healthy.
From the food, to having lot of sunshine all the time ,my life in Brasil is very different from my life in Alaska. It`s a good change of pace I think. Although it`s difficult with the language and is very different, I love everything about this place and know I will have an amazing year here!

Games for girls.
For those that are aganst violent games because they can stimulate violence and bla, bla, bla, mothers don't let their sons play them and bla, bla, bla again. For those thst don't like to playing soccer games, because they are bad losers and can't beat tehir firends or the CPU.
If you don't like any of those games, you are probably a girl.
Girls, each Guitar Hero is a nice game to play if you like rock 'n roll and can coordenate your fingers.
FYI, google exists.

Famous people have problems too
A brazilian actor, Reinaldo Gianechini, that is famous for his plays in soap operas and movies, discovered he has a rare kind of cancer. He asked all fans of his work to support him. Shocking the fact that a young man, that has always looked healthy, is now at the hospital fighting against one of the most terrifing illness. We hope everything go well on his way and looking foward to see him on TV again. That shows that famous people are human too and they have some problems like us.

SAT
SAT - Scholastic Aptitude Test
The SAT is a standardized test designed to measure basic critical reading, math and writing skills. Most colleges and universities request ACT or SAT score results from applicants. Students may usually take their test of choice, but it is best to check with schools of interest before selecting (unless the student plans to take both exams). Standardized tests are an important factor in the admissions process, and students should do their best to show schools that they know their stuff. The SAT is composed of three main sections, each with its own subsections. The three major sections will be graded on a scale of 200-800. The final score will be the sum of all sections, a number between 600 and 2400.

The SAT is a big aptitude test, as ENEM in Brazil. These tests select the best student of the middles. This is the most important test of the students’ life and it’s who will decide the lives of these.
