Hello, everyone!
My name is Bruna which means brown according to google.
I am from Brazil and I've been living in USA since last friday (06/20/2014). I'm 22 years old, I study computer science and this summer I'm studying english at California State University, Fullerton!
I am so excited about living in California :)
I decided to come to USA because I want to speak english very well and because the universities here are excellent.
I like sports, TV series like game of thrones, revenge, house of cards and since I came here at Fullerton I've been walking around to visit the city almost every day.
When I have lived in Brazil I had some interesting experiences. I was a volunteer at CHOICE program. So I had worked presenting the concept of social business in different colleges at my state Pernambuco. I was a CHOICE's ambassadress for 4 months. After that, I had worked for more 4 months as an ambassadress-mentor at CHOICE program. It was an amazing opportunity, I made many friends from different states from Brazil.
I also had worked in CITi (Integrated Center of Information Technology) which is a junior enterprise, as an quality manager for 1 year and for 6 months as Vice President. I have learned so much while working there. I learned about management and information technology. I had the opportunity to leader the team and it was one of the best choices of my life.
Wow! It sounds like you have had some specific and interesting experiences in Brazil. Is 'social business' a business that also helps people? Also, I'm glad you are enjoying Fullerton. It's a nice town. I really like it as well.
ReplyDeleteYes teacher!
ReplyDeleteIn few words "social businesses are profitable initiatives which offer solutions to social problems through their core business, using market mechanisms". This definition was given by Artemisia an organization that manages the CHOICE program which I had been part of.
Here is an example of a social business that I really love!
