HOLA!! my name is Marcela Andrades

I'm a chilean teacher in Early Chilhood Education.
I worked in Santiago ,Chile for 12 years whit children in two diferents realities.
    After graduated in 1989 from a Catholic University, I opened my own day care when  I worked with around 60 children,in three diferents levels : babies untill 2 years old,young children betewen 2-4 years old,and kindergarden level betwen 4-6 years old. I was the teacher and director,and with me also worked 6 women :teachers ,asistances, cook and cleaning staff .
The school name was " La Ronda ".
   After that in 1999 I was working for two years in a rural school with children extremly poor, risk children with a lot of necessities materials and emotionals . It was at that moment that I realize that I needed to do somthing else for them.
   So I came to U.S. to study English and my goal is to get my mastery degree in Education.
Now I live in Gainesville, Florida. I spend a year study English here, and next year I hope to go to Graduate School.
I'm married ,I have two children Sofia y Tomas ,18 and 8 years old.
I'm 39 years old and I'm scorpio (date of birth nov 14 )and my hobby is reading.
