An Expert on my field

The person that I’m about to describe is someone that I wish I could see more often but distance wouldn’t allow it. She is someone that I love and admire. This person is my grandmother, and her name is Lucila
, but everyone in her village calls her “Mrs Bella”. She is 72 years old. She didn’t finish school, as she had to start working at the age of 13. However, after getting married she devoted her whole life to raise her seven children while my grandfather was away working in the countryside. It might not seem like a very exciting life, but she is one the people that I admire the most. She is very good at learning new things that she then puts in practice, she absolutely loves reading and not only about religious things but also philosophy and sciences. She takes every opportunity to learn something new, anything that she can turn into something that she can sell and then generate income for the family. She’s “president” of the elderly club of the village, and organizes their visit to the beach as well as other activities. She’s got bad knees but that doesn’t stop her from running everything, from helping everyone in the village without asking anything in return. And even though this description of her does not include any professional achievement, that doesn’t stop me from being proud of being her granddaughter. I love her because she is someone that always pushes forward and never gives up, someone that shares with you experiences, feelings and hopes for the future.

why did you choose your career?

When I was a child I used to change my mind about the plans for my adult life, because I was interested in a lot of different things,so I could not decide which one was the best, for example, in a while I wanted to became in a big chef but on the next day I was thinking that I could be an excellent teacher. Well at that time I had no pressure to take one or another. As soon as I was in high school it came the first decision about my future life, that was to choose among Humanistic, Biologic or Mathematician. In that moment I was so confused, because I loved the letters and the biology, however I had to choose only one and I took biology. Despite of that election when I was preparing PSU test  thinking about becoming  a doctor, I remember having thought if that was the real profession that I wanted to take for the rest of my life, because no matter how beautiful it could be to help people, I felt there's something that I would miss a lot that was the desire to learn everyday a litt

Sometimes movies can make us think and realize so many things that at first glance, we didn´t know or maybe we did, but we didn't know how to put in words . When i see for the first time the movie "American Beauty" I had no idea what wait for, but it’s one of the best movies I had ever seen. I Think that the scene that frame my life from this movie, it´s one with a bag, yes just like you read. it's a scene where you see two of the main important characters looking a bag floating in the air. And you see there the beauty of simples things in the world. The beauty that closed every single thing, and how, if you just pay attention you have everything by your side. In the picture in this post you have de imagine of this scene, I can´t give you more dates from this movie, but i have to say that you must see sometime in your life.
