Fernanda #1 – Introduction
May 5, 2009My name is Maria Fernanda Venancio and I was born in São Paulo, where I have been living. I’m like of that, but in the future I’m really in doubt if I want to continue living here, my idea is to moving to the country side and start to have a more quiet life. I studied at the same school until the university, what could sounds a little wired, but in fact was a good thing because I was abble to have the same education structure since 2 year old and have the same friends since this age. After that I went to university where I studied Administration, with a financial enfasing, I really like to deal with numbers and nowadays I have been working with financial. At the my free time I’m really enjoy to stay with my dogs, 2 beagles, Juddy and Puppy, they are amazing, with a lot of energy and love.
My name is Maria Fernanda Venancio, but most people call me Fernanda. (I have a personal question. Was it you who asked people to call you Fernanda instead of Maria or have people chosen to call you Fernanda naturally? I have heard that some people in Brazil don’t like the name Maria because they equate the name to the poor social economic classes in Brazil. As a matter of fact, my name is not really Rick, but Ricardo, and I have chosen not to let people call me Ricardo because I definetely do not relate myself to the name. Because I lived most of my life in the States, I don’t see myself as a Ricardo, but as Rick. So I can relate.)
I was born in São Paulo and (have lived / or have been living) here all my life until now. (How happy are you to be living here for such a long time? Some people feel very frustrated when they realize they have not traveled much and or have experienced other lifestyles, living in different cities or even in different countries.)
Hi Fê, I was so happy when I saw your name in Rick’s mail…it’s gonna be so great to have you in class!
