Choice Sheets

I would be the next year in commercial photography because I am very interested to learn and improve as a photographer, besides that I'm not very good at writing in English then I think it would be difficult to enter newspaper, commercial photography I think is a great option for improve my skills taking pictures, plus I enjoy having a camera in my hands.

This holiday was very funny because friends and family came from Mexico and I had a great time and fun because my house has always been rather full and we were visiting family laughing and living with my grandparents and my cousins, my uncles Mexico some friends, and also friends here in Austin. also i was very happy because my boyfriend gave me a set of drums was the best.

2. What are your resolutions for the 2013 year? My goals for 2013 is to learn more English, able to speak, write, understand and read more. because it is still difficult for me, another purpose would be a better person in all aspects, improve my grades, and maybe find a job.
