Where I see myself in 5 years  In my personal life in 5 years, I might have a family and a beautiful house, I would like to have two children with my husband and a safe, stable and happy life. I will be working in a company where I can use my skills. I would like to have a job where I can use my administration or accountable knowledge. I will be fluent in English and I expected to have a great job. Right now I do not what kind a job I want because I feel nervous and uncomfortable with my English but it is a fear that I will handle with the years. I think I can have a better job in 5 years because I am working hard to learn English and be fluently.

My Dream House                                              My dream house would be in San Carlos Mexico, near to the beach. I love the hot weather and the warm beaches.

I like the modern features and spacious rooms with large windows.  It would be a perfect world, if I have my dream houses in San Carlos Mexico and Massachusetts, I dream with that.

Christmas day  I have great memories from my childhood, one of my favorites was sharing the Christmas holiday season with all my family. I remember how much I enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree and putting up decorations with my sisters and grandparents at their house. On Christmas eve my grandmother, my mother and my aunts made dinner, they prepared delicious traditional Christmas from Sonora dishes like pork leg, turkey, salads, refried beans, tamales, pozole and more. My sister and I prepared flan, chocolate cake and cupcakes for dessert. We anxiously waited for the Christmas presents, and I got a barbie cash register that I loved very much. I will always remember and appreciate those beautiful memories with my family.
