Dear Mr. Anderson da Silva,
How are you? ! I am going to start an internship tomorrow. I am waiting for an
opportunity in the technology area. Recently I live in another city, and it is a little
difficult for me to change because I need to adapt myself. I am improving my English,
and I give up to the law school. I gave up this college because I realized this area was
not for me. After searching about different professions, I identified myself with
technology area. I started the college of computer science, and I realized the
difference. I liked it from the first day, I don’t know if I will follow in technology area, but
I am learning many things. Thank you very much for recommending this course!
