[I] went to London in the United Kingdom in order to improve my English and art skills. There I met people from all over the world. Since then I knew I wanted to study something related to languages and cultures. Afterwards I decided to do an au pair exchange in Germany in order to learn the language and be involved in the German daily life. I knew I wanted to study something related with the German language so I decided to start my undergraduate degree at Webster University.

In the future I would like to work as a foreign language teacher and as a professional translator because knowing a language opens up the door to understanding the culture of the country and to experience the life as a local.
