Implementing for life

My name is Rodolfo Díaz, I’m 39 years old and I am a firefighter.

When I was I kid, my family lived in front of a fire station. I spent many hours watching the firemen doing their trainings and I thought: “I want to be a fireman”. When I finished high school, I went to the fire station and offered to be a volunteer.

They told me I couldn’t be a firefighter because I was very young. I waited and waited. I finally became one when I was 21. I am so proud and happy!

My name is Rita Macías, I’m 28 years old and I teach literature. I could read very well since I was 6 and I always loved books. I enjoyed reading the same book over and over again. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher because I wanted to share my passion for literature. I went to college, I got my teaching degree, and now I’m a teacher at the “Benito Juárez” junior high school. I really love my job!

My name’s Carlos Ruiz, I’m 14 and I’m a student. I’m also a soccer player in the school team. I played soccer for the first time when I was in preschool.

Then, I became part of the soccer team in primary school. After that, in middle school, I joined the Math club and, of course, the soccer team. I like Math, English and Science, and I’m a very good student, but soccer is what I like the most. I want to be a mathematician and play soccer my whole life!

My name’s Javier Peña, I’m 25 years old and I want to be a famous singer.

I always liked music, so I decided to study music in the afternoons, after school. I graduated from college with an engineering degree 3 years ago. I work as an engineer and I play and sing on weekends in several cafes in town. I sang with my band on a TV show last month. We had a lot of fun when we watched the band on TV!
