My Biography
My Past
I was born in 1982 in Cancun, Mexico. When I was born, my father had had his own company for a few years, "Cancun Seafood " , and my mother was taking some courses and working with my father. By the time I was born, they had already had two more daughters, Denise and Karen. I went to kindergarten when I was 3 years old. After a year my sister Stephania was born. We moved to Merida when I was 6 years old because they had better schools, so I went to elementary school there, and I was part of the chorus. During elementary school my sister, Ilse, and my brother, Hector, were born. I went to junior school when I was 12 years old, and I became an actress. I acted in " Grease" and " Phantom of the Opera" . My parents got divorce. When I went to high school, I quit to act because I needed more time to study, but after a year I started to work as an accounting assistance. During that time, I moved with my brother to a new house because my mother got married and my father went back to Cancun, so we decided to live by ourselves near from my mom. When I graduated from high school, I was very tired because during the last two years, I had been studying and working full-time, and also taking care of my brother. I decided to come here last summer.
My Present
At this moment, I am having a great time in US. First of all, I am living with an American, and that has permitted me to learn more about the American culture. Second, I' ve been making friends from all around the world, and I have learned and understood many differences between cultures. At this moment, I' m just studying and enjoying this experience, but in few months, all will be very different.
My Future
Many things are going to change in a few months in my life. When I finish my next class, I' ll be going back to Mexico to study college. I want to be a lawyer. During my college years, I'm planning to work in a law office, so I can practice and get more involved with my major. After that, I' m planning to come back to America and study for an international degree. I want to get married after I finish my studies, so I can have more time to take care of my children and work. Usually, when people think about their future, they just think about work or money. I like to think more about my success as a woman, a mother, and professional.
