"The opportunity come to you when you are prepared"

Hi, I am Luis Paez. I am bilingual (Spanish/English), I am originally from Chile and I am father of fraternal twins. My daughter is in my country and my son has stayed with me. I am so happy to be in the level five this Semester. My Hobbies are dancing, singing, playing tennis, and I love to eat good food. I like to write and listen to motivational speeches. I like action movies and one of my favorites is Enter of the Dragon by Bruce Lee. Also, I like to learn about politics in congress, because I want to know all of the rights to be a citizen of this country. In conclusion, I never thought I'd be here, but sometimes life shows you the road to follow. If I combine the faith in God and the faith in myself, I can accomplish all my goals and the opportunity will come to you If you are prepared.
