NATALIA GENTIL
In 2009 I studied in a public school who selected me for auditions to join the
Good Student Program . There were several interviews , tests and dynamic
until the program selected 21 students , and I was one of these students .
This selection takes place every two years with students from public schools
The following year , I joined the Marist College Dom Silverio with the
support of the program , which provides all students the opportunity to
study in good private schools and pay school supplies, uniforms ,
transportation and any other studies related to need . Apart from school
twice a week I go to the program to take classes in English, writing and had
math lessons. The Good Student Program focuses on our academic growth ,
but it also cares about our social training , so we have classes for personal
development and support of psychologists .

17. This exchange means a lot to me and I always had rejoined
dreams : living abroad for a while , studying in anothe
ountry and visit Australia . I am full of expectations and
ntend during this exchange , show the Good Student
Rotary Program and my family that investment and trus
hey have placed in me paid off
am passionate about the program and have it as my
econd family . I greatly appreciate what they do for me
nd I carry with me a dream to help someone in the same
way that they help me .
