Good evening everyone, I hope that you can find well in this opportunity. I am Mauricio Barrera, a social studies teacher, and also I have been working as a folklore music investigator in my free time.

Currently, I live only with my daughter Dalia Sofia.  She is 8 years old and I´m 33 years old, and since several days ago we have had the dream to travel and live some time outside of Colombia, maybe in the near future. That´s the reason we have studying English now, actually, we continuously try to practice at home.

I was born here, in Bogotá but when I have grown up all time I traveled so much to Ecuador with my mother and it was awesome because I learned different things about the culture of that country in special the indigenous Kichwa culture, including some stuff of their music, the cosmovision, and their language the Runa Shimi.

At present, I'm working for the San Antonio Foundation in one of their schools in the south of Bogota, and I have been glad to share my experience and knowledge with the scholar community because they have been very connected with the purposes of my classes style.

In the future, I hope to study for a master's degree in anthropology or some degree like that.

Childhood memories (Sebastian Rodriguez Espitia)

# data[].attributes.body
My childhood was actually very common, but I can remember several experiences and anecdotes. One of my favorite experiences was when I had been absent on class soccer team for 5 years, but in tenth grade in spite of there were a lot of good players, my friends chose me like goalkeeper, I never had played as goalkeeper though, even so, I accepted that role. Well, we won that championship and I won the “Golden glove”, and it was like, “I don’t knew that I could do that” it was incredible. Since then, I’ve been doing many things which never I thought I would do it.
I know, it’s only one experience but I wanted wrote it like if I were talking and not writing.

Hi, everyone, Im Paula and i´m 23 years old . I live with my cat and my best friend Jessica.
My mom is an elementary teacher and my brother a college student, I used to lived with them, I was born on 1997 in Bogotá Colombia

My childhood was good, I shared  time with my grandmother and  my friends at the park.
Currently, I study psychology at the university and  I have been  working  for a Bilingual Call center since 2020 with a Health insurance located in the USA.

Due the pandemic I was having anxiety, so by the doctor´s request I spent 2 months in a inpatient hospital, anyway, that helped me out to find my vocation.

I´m a writer and I published my first book the last month (as a coauthor).I was trying to wirite a complety book by myself but the process is hard and sometimes I feel that Im not to creative.However, one  of my biggest dream is to be a great writer not only in my native language, also I want to learn another languages.

I had tried to learn Italian but is a quite diffcult language to study by my own, so I hope  that when I finish my English levels, I will be able to pay another language at ILUD.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm Daniel. My mother is a saleswoman, my father is an accountant and my grandma lives with us in a tiny house in Bogotá. I don't have any siblings. No pets but I wish I could have a little cat called mandarina

I have lived my entire life here (in Bogotá). My childhood was pretty normal, little bit boring I'd say. I don't have memories about it. I had a particular interest in music and string instruments.

Now I'm 19 years old.  I'm currently in a liberal arts degree which I find interesting. I like things related to philosophy and human sciences. I'm in my six semester. Right now I'm studying English, in a very serious way because I want to go to an exchange and I need to reach a certain English level to do it.

In the future I want to do a master in philosophy

Hello everyone. I am Karen Lorena Velandia, I am 19 years old. She studied at the Francisco José de Caldas District University. I study Industrial Production Technology, I study my second language in Ilud. I am a very active girl, for example I like to paint, read and dance. Well, my patience is not the best, but I have more qualities than defects.
I would like to travel the world, meet countries, people and cultures.
I was born in Bogotá and I has always life in Bogotá. I live in the Quiroga Neighborhood, I life wiyh my uncles, my grandparents, my cousin, my parents and my sister.
My dad is 36 years old just like my mom, my sister is 11 years old.
An anecdote that I can tell you was my first day of college; as soon as I finished college I entered the university, When I was getting to my first class, I didn't know who to talk to or whether to get in the back of the room.
at the end I was sitting in one of the first rows, but I could see that many of my classmates were getting to know each other while listening to the class.
At lunchtime it was very rare, there were almost no tables and it was very full, if we sat in one part of the cafeteria, the most likely thing was that the poop of a pigeon would fall on you.
My day ended well in addition to meeting the teachers, the classrooms and the entire university itself, I made very good friends.

Hello all!
I'm Natalia, I was born in Bogotá, but most of my family are from other Colombian parts, I grow up with my grandma and I had known about a lot of cultures before I had to move to Bogotá and then I forgot everything about my grandma said me, the principal source of her knowledge is that she always had been reading a lot of books before she started to see worse and she decided to stop read like in the past. I know that my grandma and my mom are the most important person to me. So my childhood was a good time where I could meet friends and they still be like my family, I always was a good student, I had good grades and I liked the school. Currently, I have studied at the university for two years the career of sanitary engineering, in the beginning, I didn't want to study this career but I started for a friend's recommendation but as time passed I have gotten captive for the environmental problems and how I could help reduce all the problems that we have. In the future I hope I will work in companies which want to investigate to sort out some problems that are results of our acts, another thing that I want to help a lot of dogs and cats I consider me as a cat lover,  Recently I've been visiting some foundations like help pets, in fact, I had been looking for a cat when I found to my cat Morris, he helps me a lot and I really appreciate that
Thanks a lot for reading

Biography

I from Tolima but I've lived in bogota all my life. I like the nature and ecotourism and I joined in this group because I think that I can to improve my English abilities.  My mother is very important to me because she gives me the correct council in the proper moment. In fact, I remember when I was notified about the meeting in another country, she tells me I couldn't play the contact sports but I didn't listen to her.
This experience was extreme because I was going to Lima and then to Brazil but I arrived in Bogota the next business day due to I have injured while I was playing American football in Sao Paulo. However, I think in the positive experiences as I knew the Miraflores neighborhood, in Peru and I have been in Rio de Janeiro and then Sao Paulo.
I have been learning some things with my special family and due to they think I'm a very appropriate person and another thinks I'm cool.

Currently, My mother is very important in my present. My childhood was amazing, I used to research plants. In fact, I'm a pharmacist. I was working at the pharmaceutical laboratories as a technical asistance while I studied at U.D.CA and I hope research relates to health public or pharmacologic medicines. I had been learning English for several years at ILUD Institute because I can't organize my time.

Hi there!, I'm Sebastián Rodriguez and I've been studying English, in a serious way 6 months kind of and the truth is I'm really like this language but isn't my favorite, I think the Spanish it's so big that even if we're native speakers, our time alive it's not enough to understand expressions and different way to speak from our country in a natural way.

I live with my parents and my brother, even, I've been some sad 'cause I had to donate my dog, it was aggressive and became in dangerous for my family, it was very important to me but, well, I waste all my options and that was my sad ultimate decision.

My childhood was so nice, soccer have been in my life since I remember, and my friends that I have are because of that. I never felt lonely , my parents always being support me.

Currently my life it's focus in the studying and support my rents with economic problems; I think pandemic hit us so strong and I'm trying do my best.

For my future, despite I'm taking my 10th semester, feel a bit lost with my professional future, but I'm sure want be in project management and maybe production manager also.

Hi everyone. My name is Diana Gómez. Call me Diani or Dayana, whatever you want. My childhood was pretty good. I get two sisters and a brother but the closest one was my brother because he is one year older than me. I have remembered playing with him every time. I shared a good time with my brother. One of the things that I never forget was when my brother and I were playing outside with insects, maybe It can sound gross, but we liked sharing time playing weird games. My sisters are amazing and I sometimes feel that they need me, so I try to support them in every moment. I can´t say one of them is my favorite, but I really love the youngest one cuz she is a warrior like me. She graduated from the university 2 months ago and she has been working with the government I really admire her. My present life is perfect. I have been living with my husband for 8 years, and we have an amazing and nice dog called Arthur. My husband is an engineer he has been working with the government for two years.  He is my love, and I wanna live with him forever. He is a nice person, and obviously, he is so handsome. About my job, I have been a teacher for 9 years I sometimes enjoy my job, but as you know, It is hard. I think that I'm a nice person who wants to help others this is the reason I am a teacher, and I want to help my students to be the best in this world. I´m a traveler, and my biggest dream is to know the whole world. About my future, I will have my owner company maybe I will have some kids.

My parents are farmers and my brother is an economist, my sister is a doctor and my dog is 2 years old.

Years later, while i was working in a company named “Geosolutions” I decided to move to Bogota and started my university career.

One of my favorite hobbies has always been soccer and cycling. Also, I have been playing soccer since I was 10 years old at a soccer academy.

Hi! as you already saw mi name is Juan Diego, i guess we can start this talking a little bit about my childhood. I born in Chia but since i have memory i have been living in Mosquera, then i`ll talk more of that. First i had been studying in Funza, where i met one of my best friends, who i`m still hanging out almost every day haha, but then i changed of school and continue with my highschool.
I have heard to some people that i`ve always been a little shy, not in the point wich i would be totally scared of try to talk with other people, but if i can keep unobserved i would not complain.
i´m 17 years old, i´ve been in the ILUD since january so this is my third level that i´m doing in this great plataform. As i said before, all my life i´ve lived and studied in Mosquera and i really like it, i guess that although maybe doesn´t has many place to go or enjoy, if you are with the correct people you can have greats moments. All of us have those ``Correct people`` that cheer our days, i found them in my family in friends (And yeah, absolutely i´m including  my pets), and also in the things i love to do, for example some activities i usually do is calisthenics an amazing sport that i´ve been practicing for almost two years. Also i listen to music, really a lot music and as a hobbie sometimes i play the guitar.
Actually i´m studying at the ILUD and sales work. I know that i´m still be young but i guess that like everybody i have goals and thing that i would like do in the future with my life, personally, academically, professionally and more aspects. Within those purposes are get better in the sport that really apasionate to me and in the other hobies that i do and i hope keep doing.
