Esmeralda Quevedo

My Goal: Become A Beauty Instructor Hi, my name is Esmeralda Quevedo. I was born in a beautiful town twenty minutes away from Cualican Sinaloa, México. I was living there for my first eighteen years of life. When I finished my preparatoria which is equaled to United States high school, I had to travel to the city to be a successful person. When I got to the city, I had to work part time to support myself. I almost finished my third grade in the university, but I could not, because I had to travel to the United States. Now I live in the beautiful city of Chicago. I have been living here for the past fifteen years and I have been working very hard since I came here. I work in as a beautician in a beauty salon. I like what I am doing right

now, but I have to learn English and learn how to use the computers. Because if we want to be better in this country we need to know them. I have many goals for the future. One of them is to become a beauty instructor. I want to continue trying to be a nice person and be generous with everybody around me, like my family and friends. I would like to be a successful person and to have more time for my family. To do this I am learning English and after learning it I want to go to college and become a cosmetology teacher. But I want to have both languages. I want to be able to help others when they do not understand English.
