Introductory Essay (Final Draft)

The purpose of the essay is that you know something else about me and my life. In this essay I will describe some details about myself. Some of these are about my name and my origins. I will also include information about my likes and dislikes also and some of the future goals that I hope to achieve in 5 to 10 years from now.

First of all, I need to tell you my name and the origin of it. I am Ursula Yolanda Palos Ramírez, I am named Ursula after my mother’s grandmother and Yolanda because of my mom’s name. I am from a little town called San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco, which is near Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. Nowadays, I am studying the B.A. in English Language Teaching in Aguascalientes; where I live with my aunt, my cousin and one of my brothers. I prefer to live in my town because it is a quiet place and I can go to everywhere walking, for that reason I like to walk and on my free time I usually play basketball, and spend time with my friends.

Many things have changed my life, most of them for the better. I think the most important thing was when I decided to get in this major. Indirectly I decided to leave my hometown, friends and family; although I go to my hometown every weekend it is not the same as living there because I do not spend enough time with my family or my friends so I have had to decide with whom stay more time. On the other hand, living in Aguascalientes has been difficult and enjoyable at the same time. Actually I have been trying to adapt myself to living in here. Something that I have done to enjoy being here is to go out with my classmates or family to some places to have fun and know more places with the purpose of being able to go around Aguascalientes on my own one day.

Talking about the things that I want to do in the future, I have many objectives. One of them is to get my own house and obviously live there after I finished my Master’s Degree, which I hope to do in a foreign country. By then, I will have finished my B.A in Aguascalientes and I will have got a job as an English Teacher in some High-School. When I will have achieved my goals I will be prepared to get married if I find the right person with whom to share my life.

I have too many dreams and wishes to achieve and I am aware that some of them could not be achieved, but I will do my best to do so. Some things could not happen when I expected it, but maybe I will do it someday. I hope that all the things I mentioned about me have helped you to know me better.
