Writing:
I have been learning new languages since I was a teenager. I have always thought the challenges of new languages are fascinating. Every language is amazing and beautiful to me. Also, I have been
teaching English for about twenty-eight years. I have not stopped enjoying my work as a teacher. My students have always made a positive impression on me. I think immigrants are some of the bravest, and most hard-working people in the world. People have been moving all over world for thousands of years. We move far from home to begin new lives, sometimes with a great sense of adventure. Sometimes people leave home for terribly sad reasons. I am happy that I chose a job that mixes my love of languages with the chance to watch history, and the chance to meet so many brave and interesting people, such as my students.

I have been mostly at home for the least 6 years, but in between I had the chance to do a certificate in massage therapy here in San Francisco, and I'm proud of myself because the course was in English and I did it great!. I really miss dancing, I realize that I really enjoy using my body as a way to express my feelings and moods and since I don't have enough time to have a course of dance or compromise my time, I'm trying to go to the gym, and do some body work there without compromising time.
