About me

My name is Yohan Garcia, I'm 18 years old (almost 19) and I'm from Brazil. I was born in Porto Alegre, a city in the south of Brazil, but I grew up in Gravataí, a nearby city. When you think about Brazil you probably imagine sun, warmth, coconut water and beautiful girls. Except for the last one, when it comes to the south, it's all wrong. Here, it's not warm the whole year, actually the winter is pretty cold. It's a subtropical zone, so we have hot summers and cold winters. In some cities here, it is common for the temperature to go under 0°C (32°F) in summer.

I studied everything in junior school in Gravataí. I've always excelled in mathematics. Then, when I went to high school, I changed to a military school in Porto Alegre, although I kept living in Gravataí. (I don't know if there are military schools in your country, but here military schools are just normal schools managed by the Army. Students don't have to undertake hard military activities, like shooting or doing push-ups or whatever, just some easy ones like marching, wearing military uniforms and practicing sports).

In high school, I started to develop an interest for natural sciences too, such as physics and chemistry, So, maths + natural sciences equals what? Exactly, engineering. In military school I also had contact with some military colleges, and then I got interested in ITA (Aeronautics Institute of Technology), an MIT-inspired engineering school managed by the Brazilian Air Force, located in São José dos Campos, in São Paulo state.
In Brazil, the universities admission process consists of a test, called vestibular. Despite covering just maths, natural sciences (physics and chemistry) and languages (Portuguese, English, Literature and an essay), ITA's vestibular is one of the most difficult vestibulares in Brazil. I applied in my last year of high school but I didn't get it. Then I spent the following year studying harder, focusing on the natural sciences, and this year I was approved.

Then I moved to São José dos Campos and started studying there. It could have been harder, but fortunately Ita students get accomodation and three meals a day provided by the Air Force.
So, now I am on vacation, spending the free time with my family in Gravataí, and next month my classes will start again and I will go back to São José dos Campos for my second year of engineering.

A living statue kicked a man in the face with his fist

A street entertainer - a living statue - was recorded in Australia at the moment when he lost his nerve and punched a man who obstructed him.

He was standing on the street, acting like a statue, when a man started touching him, upsetting his hat.

It wasn't enough for him, he even licked a finger in one moment and put it in the live statue's ear, then he rubbed his face with some mud. (I do not know what clout is)

Two days after uploading to youtube, the recording has attracted nearly two and a half million views as well as a huge number of comments.
