A little while about Sueli



I had never seen Sueli before we started to study at Pacific Gateway. One day, we had had a conversation before the rain started and she told me a lot of things of her life. She has been studying English for five years.

In Canada, she was able to travel a lot and to see places that she had never heard about before. The best place that she had gone was Natal before the trip to New York, wich she made with her classmates. She told me that her favorite kind of music was rock and roll, she started to like because of her cousin.

Her major is computer science and she has been working in this area for seven years. She needed to travel a lot therefore she was able to visit places in all of Brazil, like; Brasilia, Recife, Porto Alegre, Joinville and Curitiba.

When we were talking, I perceived she was not well. I had asked for her in the beginning of the talking if everything was alright, but I decided to ask again. After ten minutes insisting, she told me. She had just discovered that she was pregnant!

Before our appointment she had made a drugstore test and it was positive. She was so worried because our family would not like this, she and her boyfriend are not married. All of this happened in the last May when she went to Brasilia. She was traveling for job and she decided to go with her boyfriend, to enjoy more the time with him, because she had scheduled a trip to Canada in the end of the month.

In the last weekend we went to French Canada (Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa) and I was able to see that she is a good person, friendly and respectful with everybody. In the second day, we went to Montreal where we saw the “Cirque du Soleil”that she had talked about before we arrived. The first time I heard about, I was not excited, however, she spoke a lot and I decided to go.


It was incredible. I saw things that I have never imagined that I human being was able to do.

Now I can say, it was the best thing I have done here, thanks Sueli!
