CURRENT MISSION

"Life is about living it"

ABOUT ME

My name is Marbeth I am an artist, graduated in Ceramics and Art History. Previously I studied architecture for three years but I change my major to ceramics. I live in El Paso Texas which is right on the border with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. I am Mexican born in the United States so a share a bicultural background, I currently study my second bachelors: French, at the University of Texas at El Paso.
It's hard to describe myself I could just say I am a very active person is not hard for me to talk to new people I love making new friends, I am really interested in knowing about other people, their cultures and life styles, I am very outgoing, very tolerant and calm, but as I said I'm active, I like exercising, going here and there, I do like partying but I do enjoy an calm day sharing a good chat with other people, just relaxing, I get used to stuff really quickly always willing to do new stuff and learn...I'm pretty happy all the time :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable--if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise--dwell on these things"-Philippians 4:8

Do what you love, be in peace with yourself, make good to others.
