João Pedro

Hi people!
My name is João Pedro and I’m 19. I came from a wonderful city, the capital of Minho, Braga. I was born and raised there.
When I finished my studies at ESCA (Escola Secundária Carlos Amarante), I made the option to follow my studies in a city faraway from mine. I really need to grow up and to gain some independence, which could only be possible without the protection of my parents. So, after doing the national exams and much reflection about my preferences and the future job offers, I chose the degree of Foreign Languages: English and Spanish at Escola Superior de Educação de Bragança.
To be honest, I describe Bragança as a developing village not only geographically speaking, but also because everyone knows each other. What I really don’t like in the city is the high variation of temperatures, you know, during the winter it’s extremely cold but in the summer is scorching hot. Apart from that, I can only say good things about it.
At the I.P.B. (Instituto Politécnico de Bragança), you can find people from everywhere, Azores, Madeira, Algarve, Lisboa or Porto, even from many countries of Europe, such as Poland, Germany, Greece, Romania or Spain because of the Erasmus program, or from Brazil too. That’s extremely good to me, because I like to socialise, especially with foreign people.
I hope you like our degree’s blog and keep visiting us.
