A Seattle Girl going to Brasil to understand more fully what it means to be a Brasilian girl. This is where I will document my journey.
My mom was talking to my aunt last night and she said that I have the opportunity of learning portuguese by teaching english while i'm in Brasil. I never thought of myself as someone who would teach a language, but if I've learned how to speak a few OK, it must mean that I also have it in me to teach my native tongue. Besides, the best way to learn is to teach, right?

I graduated from the University of Washington June 2005 with a degree in Neurobiology and a minor in Chemistry. I took the year off to volunteer my time at physical therapy clinics, apply to physical therapy school, and live in Brasil for 4 months, learning how to speak portuguese and getting to know my family better. Now that the year is up, and I've successfully been offered spots in many schools, I've chosen Eastern Washington University in Spokane. Hopefully in June of 2009 I'll be the proud receiver of a doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) and I'll get to take it one step further and work with Special Needs Kids in a clinical setting.
