Lóide Eunice Lima Rocha
My name is Lóide Eunice Lima Rocha, and I psychology at USP, São Paulo. My interests are volley ball, and internet. I was born and raised in Cabo Verde, an island country of 10 islands off the coast of Western Africa. In the future, I'd like to move back to Cabo Verde.
 

Describe a perfect day
A day in which there is world peace.

Do you think success is determined by forces beyond your own control?
Yes, to some extend. Society in general also influences a great deal.

What would you like to be able to do in the future, that you are not able today?
To work. Earn money.

When buying a new product, does it matter to you, if it is made in a sustainable way?
No.

What does religion mean to you
We hear a lot about religion but forget to understand what is essential to a religion is the belief in God.

What do you think you have in common with people your age in the other 3 BRIC countries?
Technology. Globalization. Everyone in the world has Internet.

Over the last couple of years, what has been the biggest improvement to your life and why?
Coming to Brazil to study was a big challenge. I have to grown a lot. Even without wanting to. My father used to take care of and control my life; here, I have no limits and I’m without his protection. I’m all on my own.

What are the biggest challenges for the future of our World, and how can we address these challenges?
I don’t think I have an answer. There’s a lot of challenges. Perhaps more investment in education and health. Perhaps finding a cure for dangerous diseases.

What is your dream of life?
To get married, to be happy, to be successful, to help others and serve God. Not necessarily in that order.

What is your biggest fear?
Not achieving my dreams.

What do you have in common with a person living on the street?
The desire to be understood by society.

Do you feel your government is doing enough for you, in order to fulfill your dreams?
No, It’s too difficult to get into good, public colleges. Only the ones with money can do required preparation courses. For many, this serves as a huge obstacle.

What does ‘being connected’ mean to you?
To be informed.

What would you like the World to know about you?
I would like the world to know I’m a nice person. That I’m a person who serves God.
