Dear Miss Leticia

I’ve noticed that we don’t know much about each other, but I decided to write this letter to tell you more about myself like what I like, some of my background and what are my plans for the future.

My name is Carlos Pineda and I’m 20 years old. I moved here to Panama over three years ago with my parents. I have two siblings that are twins; one is in Argentina and the other one decided to stay in El Salvador. In my spare time I love to do outdoors activities like camping and hiking. Last year I went to “Volcan Baru” in Boquete with a group of friends and it was an experience that I won’t forget. I am a student in the University of Louisville in Panama and I decided to take this class in order to graduate and to finish my English courses. However in English I have some difficulties expressing myself while I’m writing, but I like to learn how can I say in a different way what I’m writing.

When I graduated I was thinking to study medicine, but being a foreign here in Panama with that career have some limitations and I didn’t know if I could handle ten years of studying medicine. Then, I decided to move into business in order to have my own company or be the nice manager that tries to work side to side with his employees. Last December I took business ethics and we saw the documental “One Percent by Jack Johnson” and I’m not sure if I’m into business. And that is why in then years I see myself working with a non-governmental organization helping them to make their plans sustainable.

I’m looking forward to hear about you and how you been.

Best wishes,

Carlos PinedaStudent
