Due to my love of travelling and of different cultures, international relations always seemed like a good option of study to me. Being Brazilian and going to another country to study is already an example of how I plan to strengthen my knowledge and my culture. If accepted in to UPenn, I intend to take full advantage of every opportunity that I am given and to always look for new ones as well. The first thing that interested me was the language courses that the university offers. Languages are my passion and for my intended area, the more I know, the better. The PennSID also particularly interested me because it would be a chance to put what I learn to use and do what I really want to do in life: help the world and the members of its community, facilitating the relations between people. Besides the academic opportunities offered by the university, I also believe that in such a diverse atmosphere, even when I am just at the library studying or talking to fellow classmates, I will be learning more and contributing to my culture. UPenn's academic rigor and its challenging coursework are something that will make a difference in my life and in the path which I wish to go on with it.
