La Celeste

In the mid 80's both of my parents immigrated to the United States from Uruguay. Most people today probably could not locate it on a map but they could say that they were cheering for them in the world cup even if soccer is not your favorite sport. I was born and raised in Lilburn Georgia just outside of the perimeter, but I have had the privileged to visit Uruguay twice in my lifetime and can say that it is a really beautiful country.  Both of my parents grew up in the capital of Montevideo surrounded by the coastline and illuminated by the lights of the city. My parents were the only ones who immigrated so during my visits there I would visit with family and enjoy the relaxed culture that surrounds the entire country. If anyone gets the chance to live or visit, I would highly recommend that you do so. Ever since I was little people have been telling me that I have a calling to teach. I remember my 8th grade geography teacher really inspiring me to learn and do well in school, because of him I was able to really apply myself and graduate with a high GPA. My major at Georgia State is World Geography, and what I plan to do is teach at my old high school and inspire others to do well so they can become what they dream to be. My favorite movies are boondock saints, snatch, lock stock, and most british comedies.
