Hello, dear family! My name is Sophia and I am a girl from Brazil! I am doing the high school in my city and now I would like to do the high school in America. In this moment, in my school, I am learning about The United States and I was very interested! I love play volleyball!! I played for 5 years, 4 years in the Luso team representing my city! Theatre for me is wonderful!! Last year, I presented Faust, by Goethe, at the Municipal Theatre, and I want to act more! I love art, music (all the songs), books and play instruments! My favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh, I painted "The Starry Night" in my bedroom wall (It's beautiful)! I play flute, kalimba and I learned a little piano. My favorite songs are: João e Maria (Chico Buarque) and After Dark (Mr.Kitty). I love drawing with colored pencils and graphite, I don't like watercolor. Two years ago, I started to learn german and italian, I really like! But I am not fluent. I usually wake up early, in this moment I am quiet. When I really wake up, I am more happy and smiling! Normally, after the school, I do my homework and my housework. At nightfall, I go to the my garden and look at the stars. I really like this moment that I am alone (It's good for think and meditate)! As I live in a hot country, I am not used to the cold. I love summer and beach, I also like rain. With my new family and new country I would love to learn new traditions, yours celebrations (Like Thanksgiving and Halloween), I want to have wonderful memories from the USA! Take good pictures and learn more about this country and city. And of course, have fun and learn with my family and friends! I would like to show the Brazilian celebrations and the foods! See you soon.
