** My autobiography **

My name is Miguel Pino; I was born in September 9th, 1986. My family always used to say that I was going to be a really sad boy, because the day I was bron, it was completely cloudy.

By the time I was two, my mother came back from hospital one day with a baby, it was all the time crying, and I was told that the baby was my little brother. I remember I thought that he was going to be a problem at home, and until now I still think the same.

Four years later I started school; it was a curious day because I have seen so many kids together in the same place at the same time. I wasn't really happy, even though my mother was crying and it wasn't until a few years later that I understood the reason of the tears, she was pruod.

However, this happy moment wouldn't be forever, some months later my parents had the biggest fight of all, and they finally got separated. For my brother and I, it was one of the most difficult situation in our life.

But this never stopped my mother, in 1996, she decided that we needed to know how to speak English for the future, and in order to fulfill this aim, she signed us in an English institute.

In the 2003, I won a 50% scholarship to travel abroad for a year. I was the happiest person in the world; I always wanted to travel somewhere else, and when I knew that the opportunity was in my hands I just couldn't resist. To my surprise I was send to Germany, where I realized that I wanted to be a teacher, the pedagogy was my field, and I knew that I wanted to make a difference.

After my arrival from Germany in the 2004, I got out of school. In those days I discovered that life is more complicated that what you expect it to be, further more people are expecting big things from you and I just wans't ready.
This is actually the main reason that in the 2005 I worked in a supermarket, it was my first job and I couldn't be more nervous, but it was an excinting experience because I was earning my own money. I remember that it was in that moment that I realized I wasn't a kid anymore, I was an adult.

Finally in the 2006 I started studying English pedagogy at the University; I was ready to begin a new stage in my life where I will be able to do what I like. I will be a teacher.
