Talents
I am a terrible singer.
Actually, I sing really well. I used to sing at pubs and restaurants for a living.
I have always worked as a teacher.
Not really... I worked as a saleswoman, as a reporter, as a singer and as a communication manager.
I have three different degrees.
Correct. I have degrees in Journalism, English and Pedagogy.
I love reading.
It is true, but I have not been reading as much as I want recently.
I used to travel around the country in a motorcycle.
Yes, I did! But then I realized it was too dangerous and now I don't even have a motorcycle.
I can mimic different voices.
Yep! I do an amazing Google voice and I also make some fun doubling voices.
I worked at Google.
Some people in my family think that, but it's not true. However, as a Google certified educator, I have been there many times.
I don't have a PhD.
I do! I have a PhD in Linguistics.
My favorite series is "How I met your mother".
No way! It's Friends, of course!
I have two brothers.
No, I have two sisters who are younger than me.
I don't know how to dance.
I dance quite well. My favorite rythms are forró, zouk and samba. I took some classes some years ago :)
I used to teach Math.
As crazy as it might seam, that's right. I worked as a Math teacher before teaching English.
I started my first undergraduate course when I was 16.
No, it was a year later, by the age of 17.
I prefer cold weather.
Not at all... I love summer!! We live in a tropical country, after all!!
I've never been to the USA.
That's right, but not for too long. I'm probably going to NY in January.
I have never played any instruments.
I used to play the piano, the trombone and the guitar. I have a ukulele and a guitar at home, but it's been a long time since I've played them.
I started working when I was 18.
Actually, it was a bit earlier. I started as an intern when I was only 14 years old. I traded my job for a course, and my first salary was only R$ 150.
I have studied Maths.
Indeed. But I didn't finish the course. I studied Maths for three years but decided to change to Journalism.
I don't like pets.
I love them! And I have two cats and a dog :D
I have a motorhome.
That's right, and amaziiing!! My husband and I bought a kombi and we are converting it to a motorhome.
I make the best carrot cake ever.
That's right! My carrot cake is famous among my friends. I really love cooking for people that I care about.
I've never worked for a foreign company.
Actually, I did. I used to translate the content for an educational website from Spain.
I skipped a year during elementary school.
That's right. I skipped first grade, because I learned how to read with my grandma during vacation.
I hate Disney movies.
I have lived in four different cities.
Yes: Trindade and Goiânia (in Goiás), Palmas (Tocantins), and São Paulo.
