Greetings all!

I am currently working in Japan as an English teacher. I ran into something interesting today. One of my students is originally from Brazil, and wrote a paper in both Japanese and Portugese on her life. This is all well and fine, but the thing is that she asked me if I could translate her Portugese paper into English. If someone could be so kind as to translate the following into English for me (obviously someone fluent in Portugese) I would be most appreciative.

The paper reads as follows:

Vou falar um pouco da minha vida dez de quando entrei na escola Ushiku First.

Dez de quando eu vim para essa escola nada para mim foi f�cil !!

Sempre tentando fazer novas amizades e aprendendo sempre um pouco mais da l�ngua Japonesa.

Hoje no 3 ano tenho amigos e uma melhor amiga, n�o sei falar a l�ngua Japonesa fluentemente mais sei me virar muito bem na escola e em outros lugares tamb�m !!

Hoje estando no 3 ano sei que n�o sei tudo que deveria saber mais espero me esforcar cada vez mais nos meus estudos enfrentando todos os meu obst�culos e conseguindo realizar tudo que quero, sei que n�o vai ser f�cil, porque na vida nada � f�cil e nada cai do c�u.

Mas hoje me sinto vitoriosa e orgulhosa de mim mesma por chegar onde chegue hoje e espero ir mais al�m !!!

Bom, essa � um pedacinho da minha vida na escola Ushiku First.


Again, any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I do not want to let my student down. Thank you so much!

Vou falar um pouco da minha vida dez de quando entrei na escola Ushiku First.

I'm going to speak a little about my life since entering Ushiku First School.

Dez de quando eu vim para essa escola nada para mim foi f�cil !!

Since I came to this school, nothing has been easy!!

Sempre tentando fazer novas amizades e aprendendo sempre um pouco mais da l�ngua Japonesa.

Always trying to make new friends and always learning a little more of the Japanese language.

Hoje no 3 ano tenho amigos e uma melhor amiga, n�o sei falar a l�ngua Japonesa fluentemente mais sei me virar muito bem na escola e em outros lugares tamb�m !!

Today in the third year, I have friends and a best female friend, I don't know how to speak Japanese fluently but I know how to get by very well at school and in other places, too!!

Hoje estando no 3 ano sei que n�o sei tudo que deveria saber mais espero me esforcar cada vez mais nos meus estudos enfrentando todos os meu obst�culos e conseguindo realizar tudo que quero, sei que n�o vai ser f�cil, porque na vida nada � f�cil e nada cai do c�u.

Today, being in the third year, I know that I don't know everything I should know but I'm trying very hard in my studies to confront my obstacles and achieve everything I desire, I know that it's not going to be easy, because life is never easy and nothing falls from the sky.

Mas hoje me sinto vitoriosa e orgulhosa de mim mesma por chegar onde chegue hoje e espero ir mais al�m !!!

But today I feel victorious and proud of myself for having gotten to where I am today and I hope to go even farther!!

Bom, essa � um pedacinho da minha vida na escola Ushiku First.

Well, that's a little slice of my life at the Ushiku First School.
