Who I am

On September 19th, 1988, Graciela and Hernán welcomed the birth of their first child: a huge-eyed baby girl whom they decided to call Paula. That’s me! When I was six, my younger sister was born –now a fifteen-year-old teenager who makes the three of us burst out laughing with her everyday adventures. I really enjoy spending time with them although it’s usually very little since we all work, or study -or both!

I’ve studied at the Teacher Training College for four years. Now I’m attending four subjects, all in the evening shift because I really loathe studying early in the morning, and I work in a primary school all afternoon. I teach first graders there: they are so lovable! Taking part in their education, as well as in their childhood, is really gratifying. To me, that is one of the most attractive aspects of this job and the reason why I chose it. Besides, I’m a bit childish and although I pretend to be serious among adults, I usually fail to hide the enthusiastic expression on my face when doing kids stuff. I can’t help it! =)

During my spare time, I love trying new recipes -though I'm not a talented cook but just a beginner (you can click here to see some of my "pieces of art"...how humble!) I also enjoy visiting my little cousin, whom I adore; meeting old friends, or most often, hanging around with my boyfriend. We get on really well and since we take pleasure in similar activities, we are glad to share much of our free time together.

As regards my plans for the near future, I can mention travelling abroad as the most appealing one, but also as the hardest because of financial reasons mainly. I’m looking forward to working for the state next year which is a wonderful opportunity we, English teachers-to-be, have. Meanwhile, I hope I can learn new things and share many good experiences with you all throughout the year.
