My name is Natalia Muriel, I am from Colombia and I am 23. I was born in Bogota, the capital of my country, and there I used to live with my parents and my older sister Lina.
I studied Law at the Rosario University in Bogota. I love my major even though it is very hard and difficult, lawyers must study all time because law is changing every day.
I graduated last August, I am here because I want to improve and learn English. In my country people should know English very well if they want to find a good job and that’s my purpose. Also, I want to live something different in my life, I want to have a life experience here meeting new people in a different country.
In seminar class I want to learn about music and art, it is very important and a good skill that gives you general culture, that’s why I think is very interesting for me.
My dreams for future are have a good family, obviously with children, have a good professional performance, travel around the world and have a healthy and successful life.
In Colombia I used to go to the gym to “rumba classes” because I love to dance, I think it gives you health and of course, a happy time. By the way I love to sing but the problem is that I don’t have a good voice… it doesn’t matter.
I hope these months are going to be very productive for me, nice to meet you all!

Hi Natalia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great first post! Your goals sound great. Are there lots of opportunities to speak in English when you practice law? What sort of law do you practice? It's funny that you mentioned liking to sing but being a bad singer--I am the same way. I love to sing but cannot carry a tune. Oh well. I guess everybody has his or her strengths and weaknesses. I have never danced the rumba. Perhaps you can give the class a lesson one of these afternoons!
Hi Jessica. Thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteSure, in Colombia lawyer's bars work in English all time, we have to read judegments and precedents. Also, we have a lot of international businesses that are operating in Colombia so they need concepts in their launguages.
I love private law, specially contract law. Certainly in that part of the law, lawyers have to know a lot of English, that's why I am here.
And Jessica please: I am not going to dance for the class, never!!!! jejejeje that's no a good deal!.
