I was very excited because I spent almost my free time playing basketball.

Now, differently from the past, I don’t have many opportunities to do it again because I had an injury on my knee some years ago.

In fact, some days ago, when I was playing I felt pain, so I stopped playing basketball.

Furthermore, my job and my family needs don’t let me to have more free time to my hobbies

I ‘ve been working for 20 years and I would like to have more time for myself.

Now sometimes I play padel

I took many courses but I didn’t solve my problems.

I have been doing a lot of of english exercises recently to improve the language.

I would like have an experience abroad, peraphs it is the solution to all my big difficultes.

This course helped me but I still need to improve.

Will I reach my goal?

I don’t know

I won a little sport competition in Weight Throwing when I was teenager.

I’ve never skied.

Now I don’t have time to do sports, for work commitments, family commitments and for other problems (health problems).

Sometimes I go swimming.

I often go to walking in countryside.

I received my diagnosis in the 2012, I was about 36 years old, and the doctor said to me: “Don’t worry! Your brain will forget the gluten flavor in a bit! Believe me, It’s true! It’s like when you’re in love with someone and then you break up and you think: “OMG! It hurts too much and I’ll never fall in love again!”, but soon (or after a long time) you meet someone else, someone special, and you fall in love again! Your heart has forgotten the pain, your brain will forget this flavours!”

Well, What can I say? It’s true!

I have eated different types of gluten free pasta, pizza and bread and it’s ok.

It’s always true except in case of cous cous version!

Seriously, celiac disease is part of me, like the colour of my hair or eyes, and doesn't define me as a person.

It is not a trouble for me and I wish It wasn’t for other people.  

I have traveled little in the past so I would like to travel more

I didn't have much money for travel, but now I have little money too

I always worked very hard when I was young but now I'm tired

A few years ago I liked playing volley, I liked take a coffee with my friends, I liked reading a book,

Now I never have time for myself

I have decided that I will travel more and do everything I like

I'm happy if I can travel only in Italy because I don't kow many city yet

Now I'm ready to change my life

I’ve started sewing during the Pandemic period when we had a lot of time to spend in our houses and I’ve learned all by myself sewing cotton covid mask, because it was very difficult purchase the disposable ones. From then, I often sew many other things, like bags, summer nightgowns or small sewing projects I find on the internet and on Instagram. However, I’m not that keen on sewing clothes because it is still very difficult for me.

Now I love spend my speare time in anorther way. I think that the secret of happines is in small things like walking dog, reading a good book, watching TV series ...and travelling!

In the past, for long years, I have never been abroad for my holidays.

Now I travel a lot and often I went out of Italy.

Last year I went to Madrid with an Erasmus class and three years ago I visited Amsterdam with my best friends. We had a nice week!

In that time I went to Saint Leonard Church and every week my leaders brought me and my wheelchair to upstairs with their arms.

I always remember that period with pleasure. I think that the scout experience is one of the most valid and I’m sad to have left it. I have been spoken about this recently with my collegues of English course.
