INTRODUCTORY ESSAY

°°°ABOUT ME°°°

There are many people that have met me, but they do not really know me. So who am I? I am Martha Jessica Cadengo Lizarán, but I like to be called Jessi. I was born in Aguascalientes City on February 23rd, 1990. I am 19 years old. I have a small but great family; that is, my mom, my brother, and I. Few years ago my parents got divorced. Nowadays my father is living with his new wife. On one hand, my mother works in the Technological University of Aguascalientes; on the other hand, my brother, who is 24 years old, works in Jatco Mexico.


In order for you to know me better, I have to mention my likes and dislikes. Talking about what I like to eat, I like Mexican food, in special gorditas, green pozole, and tacos. What I really do not like is Japanese food, neither Chinese. Talking about sports, I love some of them, but I do not practice them frequently. I really like extreme sports; in addition, I have had the opportunity of feeling the adrenaline by practicing some of these sports. I do not like all those sports that involve fighting; it is because I am a very calm girl. Talking about hobbies and other interests, on one hand, I like to dance a lot, also camping and being in touch with nature; on the other one I do not like reading and being in closed places.


I have had lots of experiences, but now I am going to talk about two of my best trips. Last year I went with my brother and my mom to the state of Hidalgo; it was the most awesome trip I ever had. Everything in this travel was perfect. Additionally, I had the opportunity to “fly”; it means, I traveled by tirolesas. On July we went to a river where we practiced Shotover and Rafting. Then we went to Acapulco, but we did not like that place. Consequently, we went to Ixtapa; there we spent two days in an amazing hotel, all inclusive. I have to admit that Ixtapa is a paradise.


Everyone has their plans for the future. Let´s talk about my near future. Firstly, I will go to the beach again, next November. My grandfather is organizing a trip, so my family and I will go to Barra de Navidad beach. I am really excited because I really like this places and Ixtapa trip was not enough. Secondly, it is missing just five months for my next birthday; therefore, I will have a party. My 20th birthday will take place on February 26th, 2010 in my house. I want a band, a sinaloense one, to play in my party. Now, I just have 2000 pesos to pay for this band, so if one of you wants to cooperate, it will be well received.


You already know about my near future, so I am going to talk about my future in general. First of all, I want to have a job as a teacher in a public and private school; it means that I want to work teaching children. This plan involves finishing my B. A. which is English Language Teaching. I really want to finish it because I really like to study this, also I like children a lot. In addition, I want to have my own house and my own truck. I dream with a house with a big backyard and with a Ford Explorer Sport Truck. Another plan for the future is, from 5 to 8 years, that I want to get married and have, at least, one baby. I want to have three kids in total.


Some people already know how and who I am, but some others do not know me. All these words showed more details about me; for example, my complete name, my likes and dislikes about food, sports and interests, my life experiences, and my plans for the near and general future. Now that you know me better, I want you to know that you can trust me for everything; so I can be the friend who you were looking for!
