What about me?

First of all, my name is Erick. I am Brazilian, from a small city called Porteirinha, in the state of Minas Gerais, and now I am 21 years old. I have one brother and one sister, and I am the elder. My major is Civil Engineering, and I choose it because since the elementary school I liked to study mathematics, and with the years I developed the interest to constructions and how they are made. Currently, I am on exchange in the U.S.A., mostly to learn a new language and to attend part of my undergraduation. My host institution is the Marshall University, and I study English at the INTO, which is an excellent center where I am having a great improvement of my English skills. Thinking about my future, I want to follow the Civil Engineer career, and I imagine me in an excellent job, where I am well known for my good work. I really like to travel and I want to know almost all the world, but actually I already visit only the U.S.A. On my free time, probably I will be sleeping or using the computer, if I don't, I can be studying, working out, meeting friends or just trying to find something new to do. About my personality, I am usually quite, sometimes very shy, don't talk a lot, and almost always try to help others with what they need. I believe that everyone can contribute at least a little bit to make the world a better place to live, and I want to give my best for this cause.
