Diana Lopez

Following our last blog, you will know that we have two students in our office at the moment, here is the second one from Diana, a young Portuguese student who arrived here last weekend - she has overcome her fears and trepidation's and has already tackled many new tasks with us. So here, once again, in her own words...

My name is Diana Lopez, I come from Portugal. 

I found several difficulties along the way but I overcame them with the help of a friend who had made the same journey as me.

Before coming here I was curious and nervous about England. I had a long and tiring journey, but when I got here I realized that this location was nice. nice and warm in the physical aspect because most of the people I spoke with, ask for information or other things, were nice.

England is beautiful, while traveling to Torquay, I loved seeing the churches, houses, Big Ben, gardens, etc.

Not strange to see the car driving on the other side because already knew it was so.

I was afraid that my family was not nice or not like me, fear I would not get used to the routines, the food, the culture... I was afraid that the people in the company where I am interning not like me, fear of not getting the notice or making blunders and even as I write it continues to test these fears.

But I know that this is a good experience where I will learn many new things, I will improve a little English, maybe make friends and overcome all my fears to grow as a person. 

I will return to Portugal different and stronger.
