Teacher Gabi at UT

Now we are preparing for the last days here in Austin. We live almost 6 weeks here. We learned a lot of different things, not only things related to our career or educational sistem. We learned how to deal with our expectations, how to comunicate in so many ways, how to understand a different culture.  Last week we visited a middle school here in Austin, the strangest thing we don't see in Brazil is that the doors are kept always locked. The students stay longers hours at school than Brazilian students. But now I think the most challenging things is to put all learning in to practice when we arrive in Brazil. 

 Austin is a really colorful city, with a lot of life, diversity, beautiful nature and a lot of History.  The first place I visited here in Austin was the capitol, the house of democracy, it was bilt around 1888 and its made of a kind of stone called granite. It is higher than the main capitol in Washington DC. The second cultural place I visited here was Bullock Texas museum, where we can understand the Texas foundation a little, there I learned Texas first belonged to Spain and Mexico afterwards, Mexico sold north land to a American guy called Austin but they did not to negociate more land and of course there was a battle in San Antonio (the Alamo village) where its leader was Houston. The battle is know as San Jacinto battle then Texas became independent. In 1845 Texas finally became part of the United States.  We could experiment more of these history when we visit San Antonio city and the original the Alamo village. The third place we visited here was LBJ presidentia...
