GRACIAS! THANK YOU!





Como alguna vez lo dije trabajar con personas me llena de mucha satisfaccion. Cuando mis alumnos me permiten a través de mi trabajo inmiscuirme un poco en sus vidas y en sus emociones me siento bendecida y privilegiada.

One day I was told that working with people could fill me up with a lot of satisfaction. When my students let me into their lives and their emotions through my job I feel that I'm blessed and privileged.

Por ello hoy quiero hacer un homenaje a mis alumnos que fielmente esperan mi clase de body pump los sabado. Hoy, tan solo quiero expresarles mi enorme gratitud por compartir un instante efimero pero significativo de sus vida con la mia. Ustedes son ese motor que cada dia me impulsa hacia el mejoramiento de mi labor.

That's why I want to make a tribute for my students whom faithfully wait for my body pump class every saturday. Today, I just want to express to them my big gratitude for sharing a little but important instant of their lives with mine. You are that motor that drives me towards the improvement of my work.

Espero que siempre me recuerden como una influencia positiva, como alguien que ama su trabajo tanto como a ustedes...

I hope they always remember me as a positive influence, like someone that loves her work as much as you.

what has happened lately?

I have been studying english very hard because my time in Colombia is very short. I have to prepare myself to face a situation that is going to depend on my english level. In The States I will be able to get a job but if i have a good english level, the job will be ok... but if my english is bad my job also. In one week i have improved my language skills but i have to accept that english is hard to learn. I think that the best way to learn is to talk and talk because of that since today Adam and i started speaking all the time. I'm studying four and a half hours every day but sometimes i feel that i waste my time because my classmates are gossiping all the time. The worst thing is that they (sometimes including the teacher) do it in spanish and maybe it's not good for my learning process. Since I started this course i have been very busy, every day I have to get up very early and go to bed very late. I have to manage my schedule to achieve everything i have to do in a day (work, train and study).
Changing the topic, when Adam arrives to The States in july, we are going to get married again, so I'm very happy for that. I think that it's going to be the wedding of my dreams with the man of my dreams!
When i'm in The States I have to learn how to drive a car to get a licence and I expect to get a nice position as a body pump, latin dance classes or simply as a fitness instructor in a gym. I'm very optimistic about it. Also i would like to learn jazz dance. I'm very excited (like always since the embassy gave me the visa). The only thing that i'm going to miss from colombia is Adam. Each day i'm very disappointed in the people that supposedly are my friends or family. It's very sad but it's reality. It doesn't matter! Now the only thing that matters is my future with Adam.
