My name is Maria Torres and I was born in Cartegena, Colombia and lived in Bogota, Colombia.

I have been living in New York for five months.


Some places that I would visit in New York are:

• Yankee Stadium

• Coney Island Aquarium
• The Statue of Liberty
• The Museum of Natural History

While living in New York I would like to be able to speak English very well.
I also would like to get a good job and become an American citizen in 4 years.


Some things that I miss about my Native country are:

• The family
• The food

• The people because they are nice
• My job

Some things that I like about living in New York City are:

• The transportation system especially the Subway
• The English language
• The seasons
• The tall buildings

• The opportunity to find a good job

Some Similarities between my native country and my new country are that both countries have a President and both countries also have racism.


Some differences between my native country and my new country are that different languages are spoken, the transportation system and the buildings are taller in America than in Columbia.






My favorite Spanish language song is called Prometo by Fonseca
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ftL_B4w2TkM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The song is about him loving a woman and the way she makes him feel inside.


One word that would describe in English is "quiet". Because I have patience and years of experience.
