Biography

My full name is Duván David Acosta Jiménez, I am 18 years old and I am from Apartadó, a little city located in the North of Antioquia eight hours away from Medellín. However, my identity card says I was born in Montería (Córdoba) but that is not true. As I said before, I am from Apartadó, I was born there, but my parents decided to register me in the city of Montería because my father and his relatives are from there. I really do not what were they thinking of. Currently, I am living in Medellín with some relatives (my uncle and his family). I am so elated because I am studying what I want in the correct place; at the same time, I am feeling alone because I left home so I miss my family, my friends and all I used to have in my home town.    

In my free time I play on the computer, I read, I watch Investigation Discovery (TV channel) or I listen to music, especially English language music: Eminem (singer), Coldplay, The killers, MUSE, Foo Fighters (bands); furthermore, I like salsa, cumbia and vallenato, I mean Colombian rhythms. Listening to music is a good way to practice a language. Someday, I would like to learn how to play the piano and how to speak French and other languages.  

When I was in ninth grade I started an English language course at Centro Colombo Americano; 2012 was a great year for me, but also tough, thanks to God I finished the English course and in the meantime, my technical degree at SENA and I graduated from high school at Institución Educativa Alfonso López. 

To sum it up, I hope to finish my bachelor in Spanish and English language education. I do not know what to expect from this profession but I would like to work in a rural area.
