  I am David Isa, 21 years old mechanical engineering student from Argentina, South America. As I know how important it is and it will be for my career to have a great command of the English language I made the decision of coming to Vancouver to study. I am so happy that I have made a very good choice as I discovered in Vancouver a wonderful city, very nice people and meet many, many friends from all over the world. Studying is only part of my numerous activities that I made here thanks to GEOS Vancouver. I had the chance to visit the aquarium, museums, and jockey and football stadiums, to taste varied foods from many different countries. Well, coming here is just a dream came true which will also add a very important value in my personal development, to speak and understand the universal language, English. David Isa P Argentina |
