Finding out my career directions and Basic Itinerary of the entire Program

 The Studies in my field will take a while to start, I guess in late August. I'm going to take one semester, and afterwards, take a 3-month internship here in the U.S.A before I return to Brazil. My area of study is Information Systems, by the way.
                When I was a high school student, I had been really into studying something about engineering before I started getting to know about Computer Science and all those computer stuff.
 I was first interested in my current field when the date to apply for all the universities admissions started to come closer and I had to make up my mind about what I would choose for my future. As all Brazilians know, We had to take the ENEM exam to compete for one position in the major desired when we're about to graduate from high school. Then, in the next stage that we had to make our decision I wasn't successful in the major that I really wanted. However, and hopefully, I succeeded in the second choice that offered more available spaces to fill, which was in the exactly course and university that I'm attending the days before USA.
                My Experiences are especially with computer programming, some subjects about administration and the basics about economics. Also, I did some research about servers stuff, like installing and configuring servers and creating virtual machines. In addition to that, I manipulated some applications, especially for video and voice conference, but now I took a break because of my studies here in the U.S.
                I'll be first taking English classes in the pre-academic program, and then I'll start the academic program. I'm not sure about what disciplines I'll be taking here yet. But I looked up all the available ones, so I just need to discuss with my advisor to know which of them I'm capable of and ready to do. During this semester, I must be looking for some company to work as an intern somewhere in the country.

  1. Are you looking for an internship in Vermont, or anywhere in the US? Getting to know folks in the IT and Computer Science Department would be a good place to start in either case.
