So far my life has been extraordinary, I have been privileged enough to experience two worlds and my life isn't even halfway yet.

Growing up in Brazil, the place where I was born was paradise. As a child the freedom of the land is breath taking and the sun feeds your skin everyday. I was one of the lucky Brazilian children my parents were working class. This was important, as the divide between rich and poor in Brazil is catastrophic.

I was able to go to school and avoid the favelas, (Like a bad estate or projects that the government has left to die.) my friends were like me, happy without a care in the world. We all had little responsibilities, homework, and respect for our family and to present ourselves with pride to the rest of the world.

My fondest time in my country is the times spent on the beach. I remember being terrified of the sea, the water level is much higher in that part of the world its like going in the deep end first, there is only a calmer end no shallow end. Conquering the sea is a big achievement, it gains you respect from your peers if you are able to ride the waves with expertise. I managed to not only swim by the age of four, but by the age of ten when I was allowed to go out to sea with an escort (Older cousin) I started to deep sea dive and now I can surf the energy of the waves with ease.

Bonfires with my friends were awesome, the nights spent watching the sunsets and sunrises were endless, if I were to lose my sight my memory of them would serve me just fine. My first kiss to a boy was on the beach so I guess you could say a part of my soul definitely remains in Brazil.

But I have always wanted to travel and see the world, the reason why my father says I went further and further down to the bottom of the sea, because of my curiosity and a sense of adventure. I have never been a person to see the colour of a persons skin I treat all people with equality even the people that begged on the streets of my country. It serves you well for your conscious to show people kindness even when you know they do not appreciate it. I found this lack of appreciation to be the norm in England.

Brazil is a warm friendly place, strangers smile at each other and think nothing of it, but here in England they look at you as if you belong in the loony bin. I am told it is because the sun rarely shines, the people reflect the weather. I find this not to be true, and they only smile when the country does well at football, a royal celebration and during the carnival weekend. Also there are no stars in the sky of London, no wonder people look depressed and crossed. No stars during the night for me is like living on another planet. It's strange, as though the stars have fallen into a black hole in space. It is cold, but you have to be long-suffering.

I joined college to learn English and made wonderful friends. It took a while as I became shy after smiling to the wrong strangers, but eventually my smiles were returned. Thank the Lord. Now England doesn't seem so bad, there is a black community and I'm completely in love with every moment of it.

If were president of the whole world. Children will not suffer. In my country children beg on the streets at nighttime, it is very dangerous for them. But their family encourages them because it plagues the minds of people when they see a little child out in the night world unprotected by a parent or adult. I would make sure that youth centres and hostels are a popular as Sainsburys, Asda and Tescos all around the world. Children just as much as adults need a place to escape and if my country had facilities like these children would be taken care of and would have no need to beg.
I would make it so that a man could give birth every decade and have worldwide press cover his experience. I think it would be necessary for men to be more compassionate towards women and the human race. I'm almost certain that if men gave birth they wouldn't be so quick to shout out war whenever the mood took them. I would ban money and food would be available to everyone, twenty-four hours a day. That's what their taxes would automatically pay towards. I could go on and on but I won't. Bye for now.

Yours sincerely
Dilmcimar.
