Valeria Liva

Hi, my name is Valeria Liva and I’m 16 years old. I’m from Corrientes, Argentina and I’m on my last year of the Yapeyú School.

I don’t do any sport beside Volley, which I practice only once a week in my school. I prefer to do other physical activity like walking or running.

I really like hanging out with friends and enjoy the most that I can. I consider myself very sociable. With people of different ages.

In my free time, especially when I’m on holidays (because I have more FREE time): I like reading. I’m always reading one book. I read other things like the news’s paper articles, fashion magazines, informative magazines, etc; I stay in the computer chatting, reading, looking pictures, watching movies or series; I hang out with friends or they come to my house; or I hang out with my parents. I go walking with my mom or my dad or I go shopping with her. In the next picture I'm with my brother Bruno.

When I hang out with friends we always go to someone’s house. We talk, eat, drink “tereré” (Typical in our country), go shopping, dance (only girls) and keep talking. At night I like a lot going to parties, dance, meet people and have fun. Some days when I don’t want to hang out, I prefer to stay at home. Reading, watching movies and cooking something for myself.

I like to meet people, to talk a lot with them and letting know them that if they want to ask me for help sometimes, or they want to tell me something, they can!

About my idea of my future, I don’t know what I’m going to study yet. I didn’t found what I like the most and on what I’ would like to work. I like 2 careers: Accounting and Psychology. And I have some ideas of what I would like to be. For example (This is what I imagine): Owner of my company, Psychologist (but not having only that job), Working in a magazine or a Counter.

I hope you can understand what I wrote about me. Bye!!
