Global Village Sunshine Coast

This is my last week in Global Village. I still remember the the day I came to Australia for the first time. It was about four months ago whenI arrived in Brisbane and then Caloundra with the objective to learn English because it is important for my profession. The journey was very long; I left Barranquilla (Colombia) and arrived in Bogota, from there I flew to Chile followed by New Zealand, Sydney and finally to Brisbane. The trip was very long and very boring and I had a problem because I missed my flight from Sydney to Brisbane. Eventually I got to Brisbane and then I caught a bus  to Caloundra. Thank God in the end everything went well and I got to my destination.

During these months I have learned many things and I met many friends from different countries. More importantly, I had the opportunity to meet a great person who helped me and I love very much. He is Julio, my boyfriend. Now I hope everything will go well and that one day we will see each other again in Colombia.

Thanks to my teachers Jenny, Matt, Yvonne, Michelle, Louise, Mark , Gwen and especially Patty who helped me, taught me and believed in me.

Thanks Global Village for opening doors to me. I am happy because I have fulfilled my dream and I learned so much, especially because I am learning to learn more about myself.

I hope to return some dayand continue to learn about this beautiful country, Australia.
