On our last meeting before my TP goes back to Brazil, we had
a quick lunch at Chipotle. It was a
little sad to see another TP leave the country, but we talked about his
experiences while he was here. As
mentioned before, he was very appreciative of the opportunity that he had
received to come study, research, and learn at FSU. He told me that he really enjoyed the
equipment in the lab and the freedom in knowledge he had while here. He told me that in Brazil, he is very limited
in equipment, technology and access to a lot of studies and materials. He loved the fact that he could work as hard
as he could and no one would bother him.
He told me that he had learned a whole lot about the
lifestyle in the United States and said that he did not think that when he goes
back to Brazil he will ever have the same mindset as he once had in the states. He showed a lot of appreciation to a lot of
his friends while he was here, even though for a short time, he had a strong
bond with them.
After lunch, we said our farewells and I shared with him
another phrase, one that I had taught my Brazilian CP. I taught him, “I’ll see you on the flip side.”
