Personal Statement: Native Quito, Ecuador

Improved Essays
I was born on a warm morning in native Quito, Ecuador. I do not remember to much of my childhood, but my father told me that I was very naughty, curious and outgoing. All the time I wanted to be doing something or just having the attention of my relatives. I consider that is why my parents taught me some sports and arts. Since I was little my mom was discovering my talent, I started dancing, then swimming, later painting and finally running.

Luckily, my desire of learning new things each day began in house thanks to my mom and father because they read books every night. Also, they showed me how to declaim in public by repeating aloud some poems. In the same way, my mom had a shoe store where I learned how to handle the necessities of costumers and the importance of treating them well. On the other hand, my father was teacher so I took all the papers of his students and I used to draw happy faces there. I was passionate about numbers and books. This passion helped to gain enough knowledge in those areas, and I got a scholarship in the college of my dreams. Today, I am student at business school, at least, it was not easy to choose one career because I had many options.
