I am Thaíza, am 20 years old, grown up in Brazil and moved to Germany in 2014 to study in United World College Robert Bosch College in Freiburg to live for two years with people from more than 71 nationalities. I will graduate in 2016 and I am speechless about that experience I've had here. It shaped completely my personality and who I am right now. I am absolutely interested in politics and open to cultural experiences, knowing that every human being has something to offer and that I will be happy to offer some of my experiences as well.
