About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't forget to water the plants

ABOUT ME

I just learn a new word in english that can describe me : I'm easygoing ! I like to meet new people and have great discussions with them. Mi primero idioma es el frances, and I cannot consider myself as an expert in spanich or in english, because I do so much mistakes and I sometimes have hard time encontrar las palabras que necessito. But, pero, mais in both english and spanish:
I can have fun, I finally can say whatever I want (gesture may help !, muchas personas me dicen que hablo muy bien (there so polite !). My boyfriend Dominic talks perfectly in english.

I'm a teacher at elementary school (escuela primaria), but now, I'm at home to take care of my baby. I think here, we have one of the best maternity leaves or benefit...I can stay at home for all the first year of my child.

I love to play volleyball, to do some acting... What else...? I don't like to argue and I have such a hard time taking decisions.

PHILOSOPHY

On a toujours le choix.
