To be or not to be

I was born in Santiago  and I have lived here all my life. I am the youngest daughter in a close-knit family and the only sibling that still lives in Chile. Both my brother and my sister got married and are living in the USA, San Francisco and Virginia, correspondingly.
When I finished my high school studies, all I wanted to do was to study Archaeology.  Unfortunately, I was never accepted, so I decided to study English literature and linguistics. So, I began a BA in English Linguistics and Literature without even knowing what Linguistics was (I was there for the Literature part). Luckily, I loved it. Even though it was very hard, I managed to successfully pass all the courses and I graduated with honors from Universidad de Chile.
I have always been intrigued and interested in Arabic culture, so I decided to do a Diploma in Arabic at the Arabic Studies Center (UChile). I was unbelievably hard to learn a new alphabet; it took me 6 months! but I finally managed to understand most of the symbols and sounds.
Since I left school I have been a vegetarian. I love trying new dishes and I really enjoy cooking, especially pastries. I also like sports, though it sounds a bit ironic when people find out that I don't know how to ride a bicycle... but I'm learning. You can learn anything if you have the will to do it. Right now I'm practising yoga. It is very fun and believe or not, it can be very demanding sometimes!



Now, your task:
You have to write your own auto biography
You have to write at least 120 words and you have to include:
- birth info
- studies info (elementary/high school/ univ)
- hobbies
- family info 
- others 

And don't forget to post comments on at least 3 of your classmates' posts!
