Juninho

 My name is Jenison Carvalho Xavier Junior and I am 20 years old. I m not so good describing myself. I study dentistry and in my free time I like to play soccer, read, study or to do other physical activity.

The most meaningful activity for me is to went to the university to study dentistry and I love it because I study what I like, meet friends and meet beautiful girls. I think that when I go to study in the university I feel good, especially when I have to spend all day there. The second activity that I like is to read, read is to travel in the world because you don't have to leave your home and you start being less stupid.

Another point that I like is to leave Brasilia because when I travel I feel very good with myself and because of that I feel renewed. When I travel is when I feel my best and I start doing all the things that I like with more enthusiasm. However, that is so expensive and that is why I am sending this letter to receive this opportunity to know more about another culture.

I like to study English because I love to read and when I know something about other language that increases  the number of books that I can read. Another good point of know English is that it makes me happy and if I receive this opportunity I will have a better vocabulary and start knowing about American culture.

Mr. Peter Menzel        

The article in the magazine that I read yesterday caused impact on me and because of that I'm sending this letter to agree with you that people nowadays are becoming very material like in the music of Madonna. After I read I started thinking how people nowadays are different, some people with a lot of things and in the other hand, people are with nothing.

The method of photograph was a good way to cause impact on people including me. But this is not only to show us the differences between poor and rich it show us how the culture of the countries is different. I don't remember what photo was but that shocked me because I saw a man with his two wives and eight children that are very uncommon in my country.

Another thing that shocked me was the part of the article that appeared a man that work 56 hours per week for a little money. If I was working hard like this guy I would be very sad and angry with people around me. This is a kind of sentence that people says: "God only gives you what you can endure".

This was a very good article and I think that photographs changed my life and I expect that photographs can change another lives. Congratulations for your photographs that are amazing and that were the best article in this magazine. Imagine if your article could transform other lives like transformed me.

           Gustavo and Fernanda are my friends. They are 19 years old and live in Brasilia-DF. I met both of they when I was a child. However Gustavo I met at the school and Fernanda is my cousin and I don't remember when I met her.

            One similarity is that they are spoiled, what they want from them parents they receive. Another thing that they have in common is the fact that both of them root for Flamengo and when Botafogo wins the game I have two persons to make me laugh, but when Botafogo loses the game I have two persons that want to make me cry. However the most important similarity is that they are always with me.

            On the other hand Gustavo doesn't like Fernanda's boyfriend that is a thing that they don't have the same opinion. Another point of this problem is that Fernanda don't like Gustavo when he is drunk because he gets very talkative and begin very funny crazy things.

            Both of them are important to me because they are always with me in moments of happy and sad. If they weren't my friends, Who would make me laugh?

        I'm the youngest child, however I have a good relationship with my oldest brother. In my opinion that influenced the person I am today. Because I was always imitating my brother's skills. Usually when my brother was playing soccer I was with him and I think that influenced me to like soccer too. A good way to minimize the adverse effects of a given birth order that father could pay more attention on their childrens and not pay attention only in one child thinking that is more fragile.

       I think that is common to argue when you are young with your brother and if that didn't happens in your family in my opinion you have a problem.

       A good think to be the youngest child that you see the oldest brother making mistakes and you try not do the same mistake.
