SANDRA CORTIJO – 13 years old – Argentinian student

Hi, everyone

I am Carla Cortijo. I'm 13 years old. I 'm from Rosario, Argentina. I study in a small public school in my town. I normally start classes at 9 am in the mornings by zoom or Meet. Usually, I send my homework by mail or WhatsApp.

I was born on a cold morning of Christmas, so mom always says I 'm Jesus' little sister.  I like playing baseball. I used to play in a local teens club, but now we cannot play because of the sanitarian emergency. I think, perhaps we will play in 2022.

I love reading mystery good stories. My favorite author is Edgar Allan Poe. He was a very famous American (EEUU) writer.

Sometimes, I hate tidying my room, but I always try to do my best to help at home. Instead, I enjoy biking around the neighborhood. I often do it early in the morning. I like biking with mom and dad.

Isolation at home was hard and boring sometimes. I have to be patient and tolerant. I love chatting with friends. So, we are in touch very often.  after I finished homework or my duties at home, I like playing video games or chess.

ROSARIO CITY

Today is Thursday. I am having Math classes now. I love Math 'cause is challenging. I want to be an engineer or an astronaut in the future.

You can write to me anytime. I like making new friends around the world. You can write in English, Spanish or Portuguese. I love learning foreign languages, too.

  Bye

Sandra
