I studied Civil Engineering in Colombia and worked some years in different projects around my country, When I was 35, I came to the United States because the political and economic situation in my country, also because I wanted to know and be part of another culture. Since then, I have been living and working here as an immigrant. Starting from zero again with out knowing anybody, nor the language, but I am proud of living in this country and proud of confront the difficult situations that you have to pass to survive here. I took some English classes at the college and study photography also. I would like to travel around this country and know cities like New York, Miami, Washington. I like to show respect and consideration for all people that I know.
