I'm Amish, my community lives in Indiana, we are a Catholic people, believe in nature and everything we do is natural, we do not use any type of technological equipment, we have our own language and education of our very own.
I'm participating in a reality show because I think the program will only gain from my participation, getting to know our community and our principles. I am an asset to the program, because the audiences are going up with people’s curiosity. I also have much to learn from other people once we live isolated from the rest of the world.
Young Amish people enjoy a time called "Rumspringa" which has at the time range from one year to live outside the community, so I decided to take advantage of this decisive period to find out if I want to continue living like Amish.

This year I took a trip to the United Kingdom with the students of Forvisão, the city was chosen as Scotland, I began to visit the city of Edimburh which is the capital of Scotland. I was staying at the hotel Royal Mile. Royal Mile is the nickname for the route which includes the High Street and links the castle to Holyrood Palace Edinburgh (the Queen's official residence in Scotland), I visited St. Giles Cathedral and I entered the central area of West Princes Street Princes ST . Gardens, through the National Gallery of Scotland and I went up Calton Hill, where there is an excellent view over the city and Firth of Forth near. I still got some time to visit the mythical Loch Ness lake. It were wonderful days I spent in this country and recommend to all and hope one day I can return.

On September 11 we gathered at the “Vila Flor” palace with the trainer of English, the intention was to make an action of group, in without our colleagues should, without our presence, apply adjectives that identifies us.


I was identified as being nice and it is a feature which I agree, it is part of my personality, working, and fighting are also characteristics with which I identify myself and that is indeed what I show is currently in training, to resume my studies with 36 years, and never giving up my objectives.

I was classified as dissatisfied with what I do and demanding, it is true that when I work I always give my best and I think the next might still be better, but this aspect is purely professional.

The sincerity and, the fact that I'm direct, are characteristics of which I am proud to be direct because I may be hurting others, but at the same time I am honest.

I hear someone say I am very satisfied, I can prove that I behave with too much confidence, but not always, I feel insecure sometimes but I do not show.

Somehow the adjectives I was classified in general represent what I am, or at least what others think of me. But I still have my fears like everyone, my insecurities. I try to be as assertive as possible, but the relationship with others is made of two elements, two personalities and two different beings and it is not always easy.
In relation to the trust game we did what I felt in doing so was that I could trust everyone because no one let me fall, but at the same time I felt insecure, not freed myself to the fullest. It was a very pleasant experience for me.
