First, I like when I'm alone in my room meditating. Second: This art of COCO Chanel who said: "To be irreplaceable, you must always be different". It encourages me to always follow my heart no matter what. I will never follow bad society rules and standards because they don't define me. Finally: My Job: My dream job is to act by helping others who cannot express themselves in the presence of a new language and also to invite others to get to know another culture.
