SUCCESS

SUCCESS

It is still a man’s world in my country and very few women make it to the top of their profession. Nevertheless, I am not prepared to follow the same way.

I was admitted at the University of Córdoba four years ago. Until recently, things have been going well for me and so I will expect to finish my degree in Spanish Philology early.


Few years ago, I was a home-loving person, for what it was difficult to me to move to another city every week in order to attend to classes. I had the influence of my boyfriend, who insisted that I was always with him, so he didn’t let me have time to study. Fortunately, I realized the problem in time and broke up with him.


Since that time, I have done well in the exams and have achieved my ambitions. My score has improved so much!
I have become in a new person. My personality has changed over last two years, and now I consider myself a wanderlust. Right now, my high goal is to be admitted at the University of Salamanca to do a masters in Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language and then I will travel around the world, teaching my own language. For that, I need to have a great academic record. So, as Vidal Sasson said “The only place where success comes before work is a dictionary.”

[Good work.  I replaced the past tense with present perfect because you were talking about something which has occurred in the past, continuously up to the recent present.]

Well done María.  ''To follow in their footsteps'' is a popular expression.

Good luck with the university.
