1. My name is Marianela Solano Quirós; I was born in San José, but when I was three years old I was moved with my family to Paraíso, Cartago where my mother was born and raised. So I have been living there for eighteen years. I was born in September 6th, 1989; therefore I am twenty one years old in this moment, and I still live in Paraíso, Cartago in an old wood house in the down town area.<br /> I live with my mother; her name is Rebeca Quirós B., she is fifty three years old and she is divorced. my mom works at the University of Costa Rica (UCR) as a teacher of psychology; I also live with my brother who works in the San Luis Gonzaga high school, in Cartago, as a Systems Programmer, He is twenty seven years old, and he is single, his name is Juan A. Vasquez Q.; and finally, I live with my son. His name is Sebastian A. Solano Q., he is two years old. He works with pencils and coloring books, and of course he is single too. I also have a sister, but she does not live with us. She is twenty nine years old, she is an accountant, and she lives and works in San Jose. She is engaged with Rasananda. He is from Russia they will be living in England the next year, where they met each other when they lived there.<br /> Besides, my family has two pets. One cat, whose name is Agatha Minimú and it is a young little kitty. Agatha has been living with us for one month; our other pet is Pupi. It is a dog a French puddle, it is six years old and the last five and a half years it has been living with us. They enjoy playing together but sometimes they get angry at each other and they stop playing. They start fighting. We love them, and they love us, but sometimes my son bothers them a lot and for that reason they sometimes hide from him.<br /> I am a student, and I am totally dedicated to the study right now. I study at ULACIT. In the major of English Teaching and Translation; this is my third quarter. I love English. I love languages in general, and I like to work with people, for that reason I chose this career. I would like to work as a teacher or as a translation-interpreter it does not matter me. In addition, I want to study, in the future, the career of journalism and the career of Internationals Relations (foreign affairs). So, I have a long road for my professional realization. I also want to learn more languages like Mandarin, Portuguese, Italian or French. Nevertheless, English teaching and translation is my priority in this moment, and to have the chance to get a journalist and an International relationist I need to focus and advance step by step.<br /> In addition, I like fashion. For that reason as a hobby, I want to study fashion designing. I am very ambitious, and in the future I want to keep myself doing something more besides working and raising my son, is for that reason that I would like to continue studying all of these things or careers that I want to study in the future.<br /> In my free time I like to spend time with my son. I love to sleep and I like pretty much to watch television. I love Ska music; I like to go out with my friends and family; I like to participate in cultural activities; I consider myself as an open minded person; I like to know and learn things, people and places news every day; I hate the cultural and social divisions; I love eat and I love cook, specially vegetarian food because I am vegetarian, and I thing that I cook well.<br /> In conclusion, those are the people who are around me, those are the things that I like or dislike, this is that I want to do and what I am doing, this is pretty much who I am.<br />
