Cap I: Before it disappear like dust in the wind...

I was thinking about the exchange, which I made, and so I realize that is better I write here the histories before it disappear like dust in the wind.

So let's get start:

Everything start at some theology class, I was bored (like ever, because Theology sucks)and so I turned around and started to talk with a classmate which names is Jean.

-Hey jean, how was the exchange which you did this last summer?
-Hey David, It was cool... You have no idea how much money you can earn at this kind of exchange?
-hã? I didn't understand, you did visit another country and also earned money?
-Yeah!! pretty much like this.
-You must tell me how it works!!
-Well... I worked at a hotel, the Seven Springs Mountain, it's in Pittsburgh... There I could earn something like 8 dollars/hours, but working overtime you can earn 12 dollars/hours.
A lot of peoples worked many hours and earned a lot of money. I could leave from United States with 2 thousand dollars... I didn't want work a lot, but if I wish I could earn much more.

So I started to think that it could be a good way to earn money and also train my English, because my listening skill is a crap.

I took the agency's name and so I scheduled a visit to talk about the program.

But it'd not be the hardest part, I'd have to speak with my mother... Somebody'd have to pay the bill...

At the first she just said: Are you crazy? You cannot be normal, how can you wonder to go so far and live with strangers in a stranger country? Of course I'll not help you with this crazy idea...

Nothing new to me, actually I knew what would be her answer already.

So I spoke to my father and he agreed with the plan before I finish the explication about how it would be a great thing to my filter...

Everything alright, so I had to tell my mother that I had got a sponsor.

Of course she got angry with him, but she accepted that there was nothing that she could do.

So she came with me to know the agency and listen their explication about the program. Of course there she made a lot of ashamed question, but in the end she understood how great that program would be.
