Hi! My name is María José García, but I prefer Majo. I´m 17 years old and this is my last year in high school. I´m from Saltillo, a small city in Coahuila (a country from Mexico). My family is formed by my father, my mom; they both own a school. And I also have two sisters. My older sister named Ana Ljuvika (she is 19 years old) and my little sister named Cecilia Ixchel (she is 10 years old). In Saltillo I like to go out with my friends and family, watch movies, cook, play with my dog, listen to music, play some sports, watch some more movies, etc. 

Right now I´m in Welland, Canada, studying English in Niagara College. I´ve had been here since last month. I was in Toronto studying English too but in a different school named ILSC. There I made a lot of friends from different places in the world like Japan, Brazil, Korea, Colombia, and Turkey. And I travel a lot too; I went to New York, CN tower, a beautiful island in the north of Toronto, and many other places.  And  I changed my studies here because next year, when I finish high school I would like to be a chef and I´d heard that Niagara College have that school,  and that´s why I came here, to see if I like the school, the system, the program, the city, etc. This Thursday I´m going to Niagara on the Lake College to see the school. I was there before and I like it, but I´m not sure if it’s the same as I imagine.

At first I was a little bored because I came from Toronto, which is a big and noisy city to this small and calm city. I´s quiet different between them, but now I can see the good things that I can do here and in Toronto I couldn´t. For example, in Toronto if I wanted to go out with my friends at night, I couldn´t because the streets are more dangerous there. Here I can be at 11:00 pm with my friends and I´m not that worried. In the other hand there are some other things that I don´t like very much about here, and it´s that here is very quiet and far away. Here I can´t hear anything, even the birds and that is a little stressful for me, but I have to keep going and take all the good things of being here and have fun.

While I´m in Welland I´m going to travel a lot with my friends and cousin because I´m just going to be here for three more weeks and I have to do everything that in Mexico I can´t. I already have some plans and places that I think I´m going to visit but I don´t know, it all depends on what´s going to happen. I hope that the next days it could be better and better every day. See you soon!!!
