Andrieli Dos Santos

About Me

Andrieli's full name is Andrieli Taquatia Erich Dos Santos. She was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Andrieli lived in a small town beside the capital of Guaiba. Like many other people in her town, Andrieli's family was very poor. They lived ina street called X3.

Andrieli's parents both worked like slaves to be able to put some food on the table. Andrieli said she was alone a lot. By the age of 9, Andrieli learned how to take care of herself. In 2018, after learning English, her dad received the opportunity to move to the US and bring the entire family with him. Andrieli was so happy and excited. On January 4, 2019, they moved to South Carolina. Andrieli remembers how she got here, seeing herself live in a nice apartment, with good clothes, a car, nice shoes ,and learning what the American Dream truly was.

Andrieli was able to learn English and became fluent all on her own. When the opportunity to move to Terre Haute appeared, her dad looked at her and said, "Whatever you choose, we will do." He put the entire future of the family in her hands. Andrieli sat down with them and made one of the smartest decisions of her life.

In high school, Andrieli has joined the dance team, has started making friends, has gotten involved in local events, and has found CEO. I am forever thankful for being offered CEO.
