My Identity

My Identity


1- Football: It's one of my motivations in school, I am always expecting for the Saturday Match. I love this sport, also that I am not so good at it, its amazing to play it.



2- Intelligent: I think I am intelligent, as I resolve most of the problems I confront.

3- Happiness: Its very important to be happy, is what gives you motivation on life, makes you enjoy everything. I like to be happy.

4-Lazy: I am very lazy sometimes, I don't want to work, I don't want to study, etc. Sometimes I just want to rest.

5-Independent: Its a thing I think once in a time, but when I get the idea of being independent its very difficult to forget it. I imagine living by my own on another country, how would I survive, meeting new people, start my business, etc.

6-Entrepreneur: I am always looking for new ideas, how to do something, how to get money.
