My Profile (By Elga)

Sergio lives in San Ramon, he's 16 years old and currently is finishing the high school.
Sergio's greatest achievement is to have loved people beside him in difficult moments, the living person who he admires the most is his mother , because she is always taking care about him.

Sergio's favorite trip is just to go to some place with a nice company person, the best decision he has ever made was to start studying the bible, moreover the worst decision he has made was hurting someone for his own benefit.

In relation to an amazing place where Sergio has been, he didn't refer to a specific one, whatever park or place could be pleasant if he has done something special there.

Sergio believes happy moments depends more on the decisions that everyone takes , in fact he says "Is obvously that perfect happiness doesn't exist" he thinks we need just look and find it.

He didn't comment the reasons because he's learning english , but I suppose that speaking a second language might let him to take advantage of better jobs opportunities in the future.

Sergio didn't add a talent , "I'm happy myself" he says; during the interview he expressed something like: "What do you study or work a lot , if in whatever moment you can die? it supports my idea that he's a little conformist , even is true someday we'll die for me every life's second is a gift from God , so we must value it being a better person every day and doing good actions in humanity's benefit , besides while we live in this world is important to trace goals and to strive for getting them .
Something Sergio really objects to is people that makes relationships just for fun , also chracteristics that Sergio dislikes in people are: false or liers , on the other hand he really admires sociable people.One of his greatest ambition is to make someone feels the most valuable for him.

The words that sums up Sergio from my point of view are: a stable and humble person , he keeps a possitive attitude even in troubles , however he wishes he were more emotional strong sometimes.
I consider he has a spiritual personality which makes him to think more in solutions that in obstacles, he prefers simple things , in small details he can find realization , for example in questions related trips he only thought in spending a good time with friends or family without taking care about superficial or material things around him, actually his most treasured possession is health.

One of the most descriptfull words for her is "Study", she's the kind of person that will always answer with her job or carreer when you make this question "What makes you who you are?".

She says that her greatest achievement is have gotten a license degree, and her best decision was changing the carreer ( the bad thing is that I don't remember what carreer was) and also the worst decision she has ever made was finishing her bachiller in San Jose. Her single best moment of her life was have gotten her bachiller.

I think she thinks or even worry so much about study... I mean, you just have to take a look in their biggest decisions in her life it's all about study. two word that sums up her is book smart.

Her idea of perfect happiness is harmony, love and spirituality, she value learning more languages and many things every day.
One thing that she admires in a person is dedication (Ow... she doesn't admires me haha...)
Her greatest ambition is having a nice house and a happy family.

"Confidence in oneself is the first key to success"
"Happiness sometimes depends in our decisions"
