Unit 1: Dear brother

Hi bro! First of all I want you to know how important you are in my life and that you cannot imagine how much I love you. I think that you are the most beautiful gift my parents had given to me. I don't tell you this very often, however I am sure that you already know that you and my parents are the most important people in my life. 

Because I'm 7 years older than you, we used to fight a lot. Despite of this, I have loved our relationship since you were born and how for years we have trusted in each other. For that reason I can say that you have always been my partner in crime and my confident. I know that if I hadn't had you, I couldn't have gotten through the bad moments in my life, because you have always been there for me, listening and supporting me with your comprehension and love. 

I have shared with you the best moments in my life, so, without you I would not have had the opportunity to experience the trips and the everyday life how I have done so far. I just want you to know that I'm sorry because sometimes I don't express how I feel about you and because I have hurt you. 

Finally, I'll like to say that I'm very proud of you, that I love you and miss you so much and that I'm very thankful because I'm bless for having you in my life.  


With all my love


Tu hermanita. 

Self Introduction

Hello!! As all you know I`m Maria Alejandra. I was born in the beautiful city of Bogota, Colombia. I`m in my third year of business and management studies in my home country. 

I have been before in Calgary. I came on the summer of 2012 to visit my uncle, my aunt and my cousins that have been living here since 2000.

However, because of a request of my University in Colombia to reach a specific english level to continue with the final subjects of the program, I decided to came to Calgary University due to my previous experience in the city and the presence of my family. 

My principal goal is to achieve what I proposed to myself before I came here. I want to improve my english, have a wonderful experience, meet new people and gain knowledge about the different cultures. I dream to travel around the world, to have enriching experiences and to be able to share the best moments in my life with the ones I love. I want to be in the future someone my parents will be proud of. I want to continue with my studies and focus on marketing and international business area to be able to work in a big enterprise, gain experience and after that, have the oportunity to develop my own company to help others. 

The song I have chose is Safe and Sound, because of the personal meaning that the lyric has for me, the rhythm and how the instruments are played.
