My Profile

Personal Information and Family life

I’m 32 years old and I have lived on my own since 2003 (wow! that’s a lot of time). At that moment, I was eager to become independent because I needed some space and peace to study and work at home. So, while everybody was in despair about the accounts the banks had frozen through the well-known “corralito”, I was elated by the purchase of my own apartment. Despite leaving on my own for many years, I have a close relationship with my whole family, especially with my niece and nephews. I am crazy about them. I usually take them out to lunch or to the cinema but what we most enjoy is to create our own plays and dress up as princesses or cowboys or put my sister’s clothes on. That’s real fun!

English Language and me

I began to study English at a private institute when I was 8 years old .To be honest, I did not enjoy it until one day, I don’t know why, I began to take pleasure in it. When I finished the course, I entered the UBA School of Law to become an English translator but in less than one year I realized that I was following the wrong path so I dropped out . I didn’t touch, literally speaking, a single book of English for 8 years until one day I plucked up courage and decided to do all the things I had been pushing into the background and among those things was my deepest desire to become a teacher of English.Nowadays, I’m working at a state school in the City of Buenos Aires, where I teach English to one hundred six and seven-year-old children and I really adore my job. My aim for next year is to teach in a secondary school.

Spare time and spiritual beliefs

Spare time? What’s that? When you work, study and live on your own it’s pretty difficult to have free time. However, I always try to do my best to find it. Otherwise, life would be boring and exhausting without time for oneself. So, I take roller skating lessons and once a week, I attend a meeting with many Buddhists (yes! I’m a Buddhist). Buddhism is what gives me the strength and joy to overcome obstacles, excel myself and enjoy life.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and learning a lot!

Best,

Anahí
