WRITING PROJECT

Hello! My name is Neus. I was born in Ibiza, on December 9th 1982. As you can see in the pictures, when I was a child I was very blonde and plump. I liked going to school and studying, and I always got good marks.
I have a brother who is four years older than me, and his name is Jose Manuel. He has been living with his girlfriend for five years, but they haven’t got married yet.
My mother is fifty-five years old, and her name is Nieves, and my father is sixty years old, and his name is Joan.
I have always lived with my parents, but two months ago I started living with my boyfriend David.
I’m very happy to live with him because we have been going out together since we were sixteen years old, so for about ten years, and we were very impatients to start living together.

At that moment I’m finishing my teaching degree, and I hope that next year I will be teaching in a school.
My grandfather, who died in 2005 when he was 93 years old, was a very good teacher all of his life, and I’m very grateful to him because I’m very happy studying for that degree, and it’s the thing that I have always wanted to do.

When I was a child, I did gymnastics, I loved it, and now I’m the trainner of other girls in Sa Graduada school twice a week in the afternoon. I have been teaching gym for five years, and I like it a lot.

About that time I also liked going for a walk with my parents, my brother and my grandparents; to the beach in summer and to the country in winter; going out for lunch on Sundays, and so on.
Now my grandparents are not with us, my grandmother died last year in December (she was 85 years old), and my grandfather as I said before, died three years ago.
But I have another grandmother. My father’s mother. She is 96 years. She's very old but she never complains, it’s luckily!.

All of these people, along with David, of course, are very important in my life, but I can’t forget my best friend Eloisa!
We have been friends since we were four years old and today we are very close to one another. She already has an eighteen-month daughter with her boyfriend Salva. Her name is Alejandra and she is my goddaughter, and, of course, I love her.
I don’t have any children yet, but in a couple of years I will probably have one.

My hobbies now adays, apart from my job with gymnastics, are going to my aqua gym lessons in Can Misses Pool three times a week with my mother; going out with my boyfriend and my friends at the weekends, going on a trip on Sundays (when I don’t have to study) through the countryside or the beach, and so on.

This month I'm in Can Cantó school doing teaching practice and I'm very happy. My tutor has taught me many things and I like her way of dealing with students and people in general, she is very nice and enthusiastic.
The children of the school have welcomed me very well, they treat me like another teacher and give me love.

As I said previously, I would love to be teaching at school next year, but in case I can’t, I want to continue studying and getting ready to do it better.

And this is a brief summary of my life. Thanks for reading and …See you soon!


Neus.
