My communication skills over the pass years have been at ease for me. In my life I haven’t been very social communicating around people. When I am giving a speech to a class, I feel confident.

That has been my problem ever since the first

My Odyssey In the course of events of my life, I have traveled to many places. To leave my homeland was an astounding and abrupt moment.

However, neither leaving my country nor driving in the old continent was as unendurable as my odyssey going to America. As a Cuban-Spaniard citizen, the

MY PHILOSOPHY Teachers and librarians often have a common goal: to educate the children they come into contact with every day and instill a love of learning into each student. Teachers are entrusted with the care of students every day and their parents send them to school with the thought that they will be taken care of, loved, protected, and watched over. Teachers and librarians have another common goal: to promote academic, personal and ethical growth and learning in students. Learning

Do you still want to do that? You can have a wonderful future in America.” I would be the first member in my big family to have the chance to study overseas.
