my dearest friend



My friend

Yosely ferrer was born on a sunny afternoon in Maracaibo in 1987. As a kid, she did not have many friends. Her childhood, however, was neither unhappy nor lonely, and in her early years, she discovered a passion for books and teaching that would eventually influence her career choice. In 1999, she became noticeably interested in foreign languages, French being the one that intrigued her the most; she decided to take a course at L•Alliance Francaise, which she would abandon after six levels due to lack of time. In 2003, her fascination for languages was reborn. Hence, she took a placement test at the Electronic Center of languages and was placed on the 13th level. This greatly amazed her family for she had never before studied English formally. The following year, she graduated high school with a very clear notion of what she wanted to do thenceforth: teaching foreign languages. Consequently, she began to study modern languages at the University of Zulia. A few months after, she completed the English program for adults she had started and, feeling slightly insecure regarding her knowledge of the English languages, she resolved to take yet another course at CEVAS. Although she only did the last five levels, the aforementioned course helped her better her writing and speaking skills enormously. Meanwhile, she resumed her French studies and sat a placement test for English and French at the University of Zulia: she skipped the first three intensives on both cases. Further more, one of the most significant moments in her life occurred when she was chosen valedictorian by CEVAS academic coordination and gave a speech that earned her first job offer at the age of 18. In regards to future goals, she wishes to graduate suma cum laude and get a master degree on Spanish as second languages.
