Hi Everybody!
I’m Julia Villasboa, I was born in a quiet little town in the north of Buenos Aires called Escobar. When I was nineteen, I moved to Almagro because I wanted to study and work in the big city. I found a job as a receptionist in an American firm in Palermo. At the time I also attended first-year subjects at the Joaquin V. Gonzalez. In my job I received training and became a Bilingual Executive Secretary. Eventually, I was promoted to a better position in the Purchasing Department.
Then I came to the conclusion that I was giving more consideration and energy to my job than to my studies. I could not cope with the subjects, so I decided to give up college. Afterwards I got married and I had three sons very soon. Thus one day I found myself being a very active Executive Secretary and a mother of three beautiful boys! However, there were days when I felt so exhausted and miserable that I made up my mind to talk to my manager and stop working. I felt I had to devote more time to my husband and particularly to my kids.
Ten years later I went back to Teacher Training College and in 2005 I obtained my degree as an English teacher for primary school. One of my teachers, Ms Molina, encouraged me to go on studying and to finish the complete course of studies to become a teacher for secondary school. So here I am... I hope I can finish it before I become a grandma since my eldest son is sixteen already!
I have been working as an English teacher for primary and secondary state schools since 2005 thanks to one of my dearest teachers, Ms Perez Berbain, who literally pushed me into the classrooms! She was always telling me to be open to new experiences. I love to be a teacher; I know I have to learn more and I’m really looking forward to doing it together with you people! All the best, Julia

Wonderful profile, Julia. I found out we used to be neighbours (in Almagro), as well as other interesting information. I admire your single-mindedness. I'm sure you'll make it!
