Profile

My name is Paola Alejandra. I am 14 years old. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, South America. My family is made up of my mother, my father, one sister and three brothers. My youngest brother, my younger sister and I are studying now. I am in 8th grade. I study at the Francisco Antonio Zea School. I study in the afternoon. At school I have good teachers that help me to become a better person.

Currently we live in Usme neighborhood, a place located in southern Bogota. Usme has a lot of problems related to drugs, alcoholism, gangs, between others. However, I have good friends and get along with my neighbors very well. On my spare time I like to play soccer and help my mother with chores.

My dream is to finish high school and go to college to get a degree in psychology. I want to be a psychologist and help children. I like this career because I have qualities that fit this profession. One of these qualities is that I like to listen to people. I like giving advice to others so they do not make mistakes, others or I myself could make.

We, as other families, have problems at home. Some times we disobey and that has consequences. Some times our finances are very weak or our relationships within the family are not good. However, all can be solved. No matter what obstacles come into my way, I will work hard towards achieving my goal.
