From my earliest memories she has struggled with blood transfusions and bone marrow biopsies.…

    I love enriching myself by learning about other cultures, travelling, being aware of the history of different countries and, above all, learning languages. As a curiosity, I remember doing a kind of dictionary with the new English words I learnt when I was ten; so I can state that I have always had the same interests. Especially, I consider that learning English is essential for me, because I want to work abroad and travel everywhere. I do not know if I will have a job which will allow me to use many languages, as in a multilingual environment, or if I will have to focus on only one, like translation; but what I know for sure is that in both cases, English will be…
