| Introduction | I am a 32 years old graduate of Penn State who has lived in the Boston area teaching Spanish for 8 years now. I like to consider myself open-minded, patient, fair and logical. During the school year I am kept very busy with grading, lesson planning, and coordinating the priorities to help better our Spanish Department. Once the summer arrives, I become very overwhelmed with the calmness of my life. It's important to me to enjoy the simple things life has to offer and to learn as much as I can about myself, others and places in the world. My philosophy on life is simple, "You only get one life so live it to its fullest" I like to think of each life as a canvas that began empty and as people have experiences, meet people, and learn things, it adds colors and shapes to our canvas. I believe we take our life's canvas with us when we enter heaven and will present it to the big guy, and I plan to have something spectacular. |
| Interests | I am interested in a lot, but my passions are traveling and photography. I also have fallen in love with being near water since we moved to New England. I don't care if I am on a boat, snorkeling or scuba diving or just sitting on the coast listening to the waves; my heart belongs to the wide,open sea. Additionally, I love experiencing new places and trying new things. I also enjoy recording my travels through words and pictures. Lastly, I can honestly say that I am interested in being the best person I can be. There's only one of me so I want to make sure I'm doing my job. |
| Favorite movies | Oh, this one is difficult I love all types of movies. I love animations such as "Shrek" to scary movies such as "IT" to comedies such as, " Meet the Fockers" to romantic films such as "The Notebook". I'll watch anything, but it usually depends on the mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll watch a film to match the mood, sometimes to travel to a different mood:) |
| Favorite music | I love all music! I think that every musical artist in every genre out there has written something we can all relate to. From "Too many times we stand aside And let the waters slip away 'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow Has now become today So don't you sit upon the shoreline And say you're satisfied Choose to chance the rapids And dare to dance the tide.." (Garth Brooks' "The River") to "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment. You own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo"- (Eminem "Loose Yourself) |
| Favorite books | There's nothing better than a good read, let's be honest. I have read many great books, but the following are stand-outs in my mind: - "The Alchemist", Paolo Coelho - "The Wedding", Nicholas Sparks - "The Funny Thing Is", Ellen Degeneres - "To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee - "The Da Vinci Code", Dan Brown - "The Child Called 'It'", Dave Pelzer -"Lovely Bones", Alice Sebold |
