Happiness

I believe happiness comes when we are feeling good with ourself. I am pretty sure that I have never felt so good with myself like I felt during this year in United States. At the beginning, I had so much doubts and fear about the differences and impacts of this phase, and now it is incredible realize that it was the best year of my life. I could learn more about cultures and people. I could travel inside U.S. and understand the peculiarity of each place. However, the most important is that I could understand myself better. I am very proud of everything I could learn and proud to have pieces of so many people and places inside me. I can say that meet people and experience places makes me happy.

Past weeks Updates

In the past weeks, I started the facility cleaning with my group. We were worried about the work conditions, so we decided to move everyone to the working room. In my opinion, it was a great improvement, because efficiency and satisfactory results depend on good work conditions. I could also work with my team in the station design. I researched stations around the world and tried to get the ideas together in order to get a station that fits the project identity. We made a basic hand sketch that you can look below. It should be made all with glass and its format represents the pod car.

Hey, everyone.

Hi. My name is Thaina De Lizo Ribeiro Leite and I am 21 years old. I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and my major is Industrial Engineering. I moved to Morgantown last year in order to take Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 in West Virginia University as part of a Brazilian program. I am going to San Jose tomorrow to start working on the Spartan Superway Project. I am really happy with everything I could learn in U.S and I am sure I am going to learn much more during this summer. I am excited to start this new experience.
