CURRENT MISSION

My first objective in the recent future is to finish my lower degree in Business Finances

ABOUT ME

I'm gonna tell a little about me. My name is Tiago, i'm 26 year's old ,i have no brothers. unfortunately i live in my parent's house with my mom and father. I said unfortunately because i finish my high school and i didn't want to go to university, i went to portuguese army ,i'm still there ,it's my last year of contract ,i've been there about almost 6 years.About 4 years ago i decide it was better to try to enter in the university and i enter in the year of 2007 in "ISCAL"( name of the university) .I'm 10 disciplines away to finish my lower degree. Enter the army it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, if i could come back i would try after finish high school to go directly to university.But we made some mistakes during our life ,we have to fight back with hapiness and strength. One of my biggest dreams is to enter in electronic engineer in university,i love tecnology.i want to finish my lower degree in finances ,then find a job( a real one) ,and then enter in the university again and take a master in eletronic engineer.
Portugal and the rest of the are passing trough a financial crisis ,in Portugal we have crisis in economy,government ,it's very difficult for young people to find secure job's and to constitute family.Hope more good days will come.
