Update from Ever!

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since my last update. So much has happened in the last few years and I would like to catch you up on my life. In exactly 1 year and 3 months I will finish my universities studies in English Linguistics. I have been ranked number one in my class for the last 3 years. I fell in love with the English language when I was about 16 years old and I have never looked back. I know that I will have some interesting opportunities in regards to my professional career because of my ability to read, write and speak English fluently. If the tourism industry were larger in Paraguay that could be an option and would definitely be something I would love to do. I love communicating in English and I love sharing my knowledge of my country and my country's culture with foreigners.

The fact that tourism isnt exactly a booming industry in my country complicates things for me in that sense and I imagine that a career as a professor is more probable. Occasionally I see positions for translators available too. I dont think I would want to make a career of translating documents from Spanish to English but I would consider it as a way to supplement my income. I am anxious to graduate from the university as I am eager to work and looking forward to taking the next step in my life. I am a bit nervous about the responsibilities associated with becoming an adult but I know it is part of the process which everyone goes through so I must embrace it and fear not.

I dont have too much else to update you guys on. I have no children and I am still single. I am now 22 years old. I still love the band simple plan among others as my musical taste has started mature. I like oldies like Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix and I also enjoy bands like Explosions in the sky. My old English teacher use to listen to them, I didn't like it at the time but I have since realized the beauty in their music. I also love the HBO series The Wire. That is a show which I enjoyed a lot. The struggle of young African American is similar to that of young Paraguayans. Education is definitely the key to getting out poverty! That is what I have learned in my short 22 years of life. Peace to everyone!
