1. Hi! My name is Maria Victoria Argüelles Dijou, I’m 17 years old and I’m a high
school senior. I haven’t decided what I want to study yet, I’m between
business and graphic designer, I enjoy drawing and work with the
technology, but at the same time I want to manage my family company here
in Corrientes and become an excellent business woman.
I live near the seaside with my grandparents since I was a child, my little
Siamese, my poodle and my border collie (I love animals). I have only one
sister, Josefina, who is younger than me; she lives with my mom and my
stepfather. Also I have relatives in Buenos Aires; my father lives there with
my grandma, my uncles and my cousins. I love my family very much.
During the week I do a lot of activities, I work out at the gym in the afternoon and at night I go for a walk
in the coast, I study English three times a week at Leaders English Institute, I have to assist to the
afternoon shift on Wednesdays and on Thursday I do PE.
I’m keen on doing classical techniques and modelling, so I
attend to a class where I practice both twice a week. The
first one help me with my posture and my movements,
then I implement what I learnt when I walk along the
runway. Moreover, this year I participated in Corrientes
Carnival, I love dancing, acting and wearing amazing
costumes, and all what I practiced in my classes I used
there, so I knew what I have to do and how, I did my best.
Also, I’m thinking about enter the next year again, I liked
it so much!
In my free time I play with the Play Station (I love videogames), I watch TV, mainly cartoons and series,
sometimes I make a couple of drawings or I do my homework in advance, so I get more free time.
Furthermore I enjoy going out with my friends or meeting them at home and have those moments of
laughing without stop.
I’m really into travelling around the world and meet new places, cultures,
people, so I’mexciting to visit England! I have been abroad many times,
but this will be a new experience for me, I have never done a journey like
this before. I hope we can enjoy a great holiday together; I can’t wait to
be there!
See you on June! Kisses!
