Conclusion

Because I am as I am

 

I look back on what I have lived and I am surprised of all the beautiful things I have. Thoughts that come to my memory every single minute make me feel a successful person and I am proud of myself. Life gives us everything we want to have on our hands but we need to be sure about what we want to obtain in our lives because anything is imposible.

I consider myself as a clam, sincerely and easy going person who wants to be stand out in every handicap that life presents to me because I am as I am because of all the achievements I obtained by myself and they have taught me that if you want something in like, you must fight untill you got it. My name is Karla Santacruz Sotomayor. I was born in the city of termal spring: Aguascalientes, México. My birthday is on June 24th. I am 24 years old. I like running at the evening, reading interesting articles such as, culture, sports, history, nature, food, I like going out with my family and friends, I like helping poor people, I like laughing a lot, being responsible and I love teaching. I do not like fights, junk food, singing, and sleeping late. My family is integrated by one sister and one brother. I am the youngest in my family.  I live with my two siblings and my mom. We always try to get along well among us.

Talking about the past can be fun or boring. It depends on what experiences come to your mind. Regarding trips, I love going out everywhere. I enjoy travelling with my mom’s familiy because we always had fun together. Last year, we went to Guanajuato and we visited the “Bicentenario fair” in Silao, Guanajuato and we also went to San Miguel de Allende to see the beautiful gothic chapel. The last day we spent in Guanajuato, we were sightseeing around the downtown, we went eating out in a nice restaurant near the “Teatro Juarez”. After eating, we climbed to the Pipila’s monument to see the beautiful view of Guanajuato city. Then, we were walking through the alleys to see how beautiful the city’s architecture is. Finally, my family and I got on the bus to go to the hotel. Getting on the bus was really funny because we were 15 people on the bus and all of them were my familiy so we did a lot of mess and the driver told us to shut up.

Regarding Christmas time, it is my favorite celebration during the year. Christmas is more than gifts, shopping, candy and money; Christmas is a time where we share our feelings and happiness with the family together. In my family, we used to celebrate Christmas in my grandama’s house where all my familiy prepared delicious dinner and brought fine wine. In my case, I tended to prepare chocolate truffles, so all my my family enjoyed them as a dessert after eating the main dishes. Afrter that, we shared lots of gifts among us. One thing I liked about Christmas times was when Santa Clause was supposed to come to your house to deliver the gifts I asked him when I wrote him down a letter, that is the best memory I really appreciate when I was a little child.

We know that present facts are the most important ones because we need to be aware of what is happening at the moment. At present, I am a student from the Bachelor of Arts in English Language Teaching degree at the “Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes” I am in the third semester and I consider it as the beginning of my major because I realize that all the subjects I am taking are the ones who are really involved in the learning-teaching process. I really like what I am studying because I love teaching, it is my passion and I want to become a good teacher in order to transmit real and productive knowledge to my future students. I try to enjoy every moment I spend at the university. I get along well with my classmates and teachers; besides we have fun and we try to help each other in everything we need.

School and job are sometimes like water and oil; however, I really take advantage of working because is a way where I earn my own money and I do extra things for my own benefit. I usually work on weekend. I work in a restaurante called “Muerte Súbita” as a waitress and kithchen helper in the “Club Campestre de Aguascalientes” in which I have worked since August 2010. I love my job because I like attending my costumers, I enjoyed when they tell me they love my service, my attention to them and obviously when they enojoyed the food. The relation with my boss and my co-workers is pretty nice. We get along well and we always try to help each other when something is wrong. Until now, there have not been any big troubles. We are always smiling and joking and customers love us because we transmit a good rapport so that they are allowed to interact with us and being confident when talking with them. It is really interesting work in a restaurant although there are always certain aspects we do not like.

Prediting the future is not really good but making plans it is. I do not tend to predict what will happend in a certain period of time, but at least I try to plan thing I would like to do when I finish something. Regarding in studying a master is like a dream for me. Since I have been studying the BA in ELT, I have taken into consideration in studying a Linguistics master. Since I was a child, I fell in love with the structure of language, I love how language is formed, it means, everything that has to do with language so I am planning to study abroad. I would like to travel to England or somewhere I can continue my Teacher’s formation in order to be a succesful person and well prepared.

Travelling around the world is one of my other dreams. I enjoy when I sightseeing the every place I visit. One advantage of travelling is that you know plenty places around the world so that you might have an opportunity to work and live there. I expect travelling a lot so this is why I need to work hard in order to keep money and enjoy all the beautiful places there are around the Globe. I would like to travel to France. It is my favorite country because is too elegant and old. I like the way the French people speak, it is pretty romantic and voiced.

As we have seen, life is too long to share in two or three pages because it has a lot of experiences but if we analyze and think about ourselves, we conclude that everyone of us is the owner of our lives and we do all these things as we think because thoughts are presented by actions we want to happen. Enjoy every nice moment you have, remember your best memory as if it were yesterday and plan succesful things to fulfil good things in your life.
