My first essay

I first saw this world on December 26th, 1990. My mother, Consuelo, and my father, Guadalupe decided to call me Alice. I was born in Noria de Angeles, Zacatecas, but we moved to Aguascalientes 17 years ago. I am twenty years old and I am studying English Language Teaching at the Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes. I am not old enough to talk about my past but I can say that I have experienced important events which have marked my life. But, nowadays; I am living rapidly due to of the activities I do everyday. I see myself in the future as an English Teacher including studying a Master´s Degree and having a family.

There are some relevant events that have happened to me from childhood to adult life. I had hard time making and keeping friends because I was shy and I had a lack of self-confidence at that time. Nevertheless, I had a happy childhood. I did not encounter any problems growing up as an adolescent. Since high school, I started working to support myself, and I worked hard until I finished high school. After this, I applied at Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes, but I was not accepted until a second list. Being accepted in the UAA was a happy moment but also a difficult one, because of my family´s economical problems I decided to ask for a scholarship and I got it. All these moments have meant the most important part of my life.

At this moment, my life is too busy and I do not have enough time as I wish I had. I wake up early every morning and go to school. This is something I really love. Everyday, I spend six hours at least at school. Classes are interesting and teachers give us too much homework. At the end of the classes, I hurry up because I start working at 2:30 pm. I work in a Business Center which is located in front of “Quinta Real” Hotel as a receptionist. The workday finishes at 9:00 pm and after that I go home to get some rest. Thus, I have little time to spend with my family and friends. Both of these people are quite important due to the fact that they are always supporting me. On the other hand, when I have time to spare I usually listen to music, read, and do homework. At this moment, I consider, my life is kind of busy.

Talking about future plans I have many. The most significant are teaching English, studying a Master´s Degree, and having a family. When I become a teacher I would prefer to work at Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes than doing anything else. I would love to teach in the BA, but I need to get a Master´s Degree to do so because it is an important requirement in order to be accepted at any BA. I am pretty sure that I want to study a Master´s Degree but I do not know what it will be about. What I know is that I am going to study in a foreign country. and I know, I will be meeting new people. I would like to know my perfect mate, but I do not want to get married. I would prefer common law marriage, and have two babies. To become a teacher, to study a Master Degree, and to have a family are some things I would like to do in the future.

To sump up, since I arrived to Aguascalientes, my life has constantly been changing, but I am pretty sure that all those changes have been extraordinary for me. To have studied at an excellent high school, to have applied at UAA and to have got a scholarship means that I have endeavored enough, and all of them have rewarded my effort. Although, I am working and studying hard; and I have little time to rest or having fun and I am so happy doing all the activities everyday. I am proud of myself because not many people get all of what I have gotten by my own.
