As a Brazilian exchange student, UBC was the university that opened me the doors to the world and the responsible for the most powerful memories that I had so far in my life. Among lectures, clubs and events, UBC gave me the opportunity to grew as a person, to accept and admire other cultures, and to find my own personal objectives in an amazing and tolerant environment. I feel so glad for having a small participation in all of that and I hope our love story have more chapters yet to be written
