Everybody thinks that speak without telling personal experiences is a lie. In this post I am going to share with you my life in Colombia, and you will see that Colombian people in spite of difficulties have normal life with good regards, dreams, and hopes.

My house
My family has lived in the same house since my parents got married. I lived there until I finished high school. It is a big colonial house with two floors, red roof and huge doors. It is located in Mompox’s main street, just in the corner in front to the City Hall and the Freedom Park. It is painted in green and white, and it is for my friends and I the meeting point every night during our vacations.

My education
I studied elementary, junior high, and high school in my hometown, then I moved to Barranquilla to study at the North University, when I got my law degree I moved to Bogotá D.C. for work reasons and to studied oil and gas law graduate program.

My job
The last two years I was working with one of the supreme courts in Colombia. Also, I set up my own courier business, and I have been learning about farm or agriculture administration with my family.

I do not want to cheat you with unreal stories. For me leaving my country is not mandatory, it is only a good option to improve my background.

Your story is very similar to mine. I grew up in the same house and went to elementary, junior high, and high school in the same city. I was fortunate enough to go to even go to university. You know what's crazy? I've taught in some of the same classrooms that I sat in as a student.
