I was raised in Brownsville, Texas but come from a Mexican family. I lived in Brownsville for many years and later went to boarding school in Dallas. My family commute from Monterrey, Mexico to Brownsville; however, spending most of the time in Monterrey. If you want to see exactly where I live, go to: http://maps.google.com/
Traveling, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and learning different languages has always intrigued me. Because of this, I have spent months at a time in both Spain and Switzerland. Studying in Switzerland for a summer enhanced my french language study. My love of languages continues to grow, as I have now studied French for eleven years and Chinese for two. Having lived with people from all over the world in boarding school has made me become richer in both culture and interest in the diversity of communities that exist.
Although I am not currently involved in any sports at Trinity, I have always enjoyed playing tennis. Painting and drawing however, is my passion.
My secret fact is: I have never in my entire life chewed a piece of gum. I promise and swear. I know some people still won't believe me.
Computers have always been a part of my life: Messenger, Facebook, Word, etc. Although I have taken Computer literacy, I do not remember how to do most things that are not common sense. My only concern is that I now own a MAC and honestly hope that I do not get confused with the different techniques that are used with an HP.

Haha you're secret fact blows my mind! (But I believe you!) I chew like 3 packs a day so I can't imagine. Good blog and keep up the language learning! Learning different languages really is much fun.
ReplyDeleteReally? No gum ever? That's interesting, Maria Jose - and I think it's great that you have gone to school in so many places and have learned about other cultures. Thanks for being in our class!

That's so impressive that you can speak three different languages so well! I took four years of French in high school, but I, unfortunately, really didn't learn much and am very rusty at it. I'm really glad to have a class with you this semester!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your secret fact, how interesting! I admit I stopped chewing the piece of gum I have out of shock! Your blog is really informative and personal, not to mention interesting! It was so nice learning about you.
