Meet …<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Fabio Rosa, a business major and international student, from Brazil.<\/p>\n

Why he is interesting…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Rosa said that life in the United States is different from Brazil because he is here by him- self and not with his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy whole family is in Brazil and I have no relatives here. In the United States, I\u2019m a foreigner. Being in a different culture that has a different lifestyle than you are used to is hard, especially if you don\u2019t have your family with you to support you,\u201d said Rosa.<\/p>\n

Rosa\u2019s involvement on campus has kept him busy during his time here at Sinclair. Rosa is the former treasurer for the National Society of Leader- ship and Success and Student Government Association.
\n<\/p>\n

Rosa, an honors scholar, is currently a member of the Nu Pi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and Students Support Sinclair, also known as S3.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been engaged with many student extracurricular activities, which are allowing me to enjoy to the fullest my study abroad. I\u2019ve been able to meet many international students from around the
\nworld, learned about their country, culture and their
\nlanguage,\u201d said Rosa.<\/p>\n

On December 12, Rosa, will be joined by his fellow intercultural communication classmates on a trip to Guatemala.
\nThe trip was organized by the Sinclair Communication Department and Transformational Journeys, a non-profit organization. Their mission is to introduce individuals to experiences that can inspire compassion, develop understanding and promote generosity through mutual service with people of other cultures.<\/p>\n

Rosa, along with the other students taking the class for honors, will work with Guatemalan families to help install
\ncookstoves in their homes. Rosa, whose native language is Portuguese, said he wants to improve his Spanish speaking skills while on the trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience at Sinclair has been great. I\u2019m glad I chose to study at Sinclair. The teachers are helpful, and the small size classes allow me to learn more,\u201d said Rosa.<\/p>\n

Rosa who is in his last semester isn\u2019t sure whether or not he will remain in the United States after completing his studies at Sinclair.
\n\u201cI will let destiny guide me. At the end of my studies here, I will choose whatever is the best for me. The world is filled with opportunities and I still have
\na long way ahead of me,\u201d said Rosa.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaulo Coelho, a very known Brazilian author once said, \u2018O mundo esta\u0301 nas ma\u0303os daqueles que tem a coragem de sonhar e corer o risco de viver sues sonhos.\u2019 The world lies in the hands of those that have the courage to dream and who take the risk of living out their dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
