( Traductora Pública). It took me 5 years to graduate. As soon as I got married I decided to study a Postgraduate in Supervision and Educational Management. That was 2 years more after my graduate degree.<br />Once my first daughter was born I started another two year course at the University. As I worked everyday I had to attend classes on Saturdays. I graduated as a Univeristy Professor.</p><p>My favourite singer is Robbie Williams. I love the song Angels. I always listen to it when I go downtown to work by train. I couldn´t go to his concert because at that moment I had my second baby and I was breastfeeding her so I couldn´t leave her. I hope he returns to Argentina!!</p><div class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-small" align="left" xid="6a00cd9717e10c4cd500d4142601933c7f" format="small" enclosure="asset"><div class="enclosure-inner enclosure-video"><div class="enclosure-list"><div class="enclosure-item video-asset last"><div class="enclosure-image"><a title="Click to play “Robbie Williams - Angels”" href="http://openclassroom.vox.com/library/video/6a00cd9717e10c4cd500d4142601933c7f.html"><span class="asset-overlay"></span><img alt="Robbie Williams - Angels" src="http://a3.vox.com/6a00cd9717e10c4cd500d4142601933c7f-120pi" /></a> </div><div class="enclosure-meta"><div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a title="Robbie Williams - Angels" href="http://openclassroom.vox.com/library/video/6a00cd9717e10c4cd500d4142601933c7f.html">Robbie Williams - Angels</a></div></div></div></div></div></div><!-- end enclosure --><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>What about you?
