My Past:

· An important person when you were growing up:

When I was growing up, an important person for me was: Dora, she was my nanny and she fixed my house. She is so important for me because when I was three years old my parents couldn’t take care me because they worked all day (7 to 8pm), so Dora arrived at home in October 15 in 1995, since that moment I was so closed to her and we went to play in the neighborhood (navarra), we always ate together, she helped me with the homework and although we fought sometimes, we are always together. Two years later we changed of neighborhood (la Asuncion) and in that year I began in the Normal of Copacabana, so Dora went with me to the bus. Three years later we moved again of house near the other and my parents continued working all day, so Dora for me was like my second mom, in it house when I arrived to the school we had a lunch together and we watched television too. Also she was like my mom because she lived with me all my entire child hood and the first years of my adolescence, she lived with me for nine years. But one day she had to go because she was pregnant so her obligation was other since that moment. It situation for me was so difficult because since that moment my mother hired five girls in the year but we didn’t like anybody so my parents decided didn’t take on anybody so I was lonely and I always miss so much her, I love her, but she comes to my house some days and I talk with her so nice.

· An important person you haven’t seen for several years:

In 2005 my cousin Steven came to Colombia, he lives in United States and he always came each year. When we were child we always played together in summer, in this way that year (2005)we were 13 years old and we began fell in love, but our family didn’t allow us to be boyfriend because we are cousin and because we began the relationship but he had go to United States two months later. So in that year we didn’t have anything. When he went, that event for me was so difficult I missed him so much and I felt to love him so I decided wait for him a year. When arrived the summer in 2006 he came again and we began again, we always shared together, we watches movies, we ate together, we traveled together to Coveñas, so it summer was so special and unforgettable for me. When missing one week for traveling of him, we weren’t able to decide how to do with our relationship, so one day before the travel I was with him in my house when my aunt (her mother) arrived and she said to him: “Steven in one hour your uncle arrive for going to the center and it´s better that you say goodbye right now”; in that moment I felt so bad and I didn’t know to say him, so in that moment we only look in the eyes and he hugged me and he said me “GOOD BYE”. And he went. It situation was so terrible for me and I decided to go to airport the next day, but he was so serious and when he had to go he didn’t tell me anything and I neither. One year later he came back but the relation between us was different, he didn’t talk me because our family prohibited again to be together, so I felt so bad and I gave him a letter but he never told me anything about it. One year later, in 2008 he came back again and we talked but only as two cousin. And since that year I didn’t see him.

· The name of a teacher you remember:

My favorite teacher is Marleny; she is the English teacher in high school in “la Normal”. I remember so much her because she is an excellent teacher, she has a methodology that is: Presentation of the topic, practice and evaluation; and the person who knows- win the subject, and the person who doesn’t know-lose the subject; and I like it methodology because the students always are concentrate and interesting in the area. Also if a person has two grades lose the person lost the subject. And her methodology was my motivation for chose it Carrera.

Also she is so important for me because when I was down she always encouraged me, for example in nine grade, I really didn’t matter study and she always told me many things, and in the end of the year I was more studious and more participate, so a day I had an exposition with her and I was so nervous, so I did it and in the final she told me that she was proud to see me as before. And I felt so happy with it. So for it reason I remember so much her.
