Ofelia

My life My name Ofelia. I was born in Mexico, I have three brothers and four sisters. I am the oldest daughter in my family. I was a bank cashier as well as a secretary in my native country. I liked my jobs because I was able to earn a good salary. I came to Minnesota about eight years ago because of financial problems back home. I now work at a restaurant cooking food and at a retail store doing different tasks.

If my English was better, I believe my life life would also be much better. I would be able to communicate with people more effectively. However, I am working towards my goal of improving my English by going to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a few hours. Although, I need to practice my English everyday and at every possible time, and not just in school.

Regarding Minnesota, I can tell you that I like it a lot. Yet, I can't stand the cold months, but the nice people that live here make me never want to move to another state. Sometimes, though, I get kind of sad because I miss my family in Mexico and California and wish I could see them often, especially my sister who resides in California.

Thank you!
