Biography

Hello everybody, my name is Laura Jaramillo and I am from Colombia. I have been living in the U.S for about 6 years but I try to visit my country every summer. I lived in Miami Beach Florida for the past 5 years but moved to Arizona last summer. I will continue my education in Washington DC for the upcoming fall semester but I am glad I got to experienced living in the valley of the sun. I currently play tennis in the school team and I love it. On my free time I try to read, workout or perform outdoor activities.

I changed my major from Communications to Elementary Education at the beginning of my sophomore year. I love children and I always thought of teaching as a possible profession so I made it happen. I have a passion for children I love to be surrounded by them and I love to watch them learn. I am totally fascinated by their hunger for learning new things which I believe is one of the main reasons I want to be a teacher. i want to be the guide to success for my future students and I will make them want to learn.
