Hi, my name is Kaedra and I am from Brazil . I have been living in the U.S. since December 2006 and LaGuardia has been my school since then. At LaGuardia I learned English and fell in love with psychology, the subject that I now have the pleasure to be tutoring.

When I was six years old I started to do gymnastics and for 9 years I trained five hours a day Mondays to Saturdays.When I was nine years old, I was inspired by my brother to take Karate classes and after six years I earned my green belt. These sports taught me that perfection comes through practicing. I also learned how to work in groups, deal with losses and fight for what I want.

In high school I had the chance to learn not only mathematics, Portuguese,. but also Computer Science. I finished high school with two certificates and preparation to get into the working force. However, that wasn't enough for me. While taking high school classes, I also took Spanish classes and was a volunteer in a Family's School Project in which schools are kept open on weekends offering the community a place for entertainment and knowledge.

            My biggest challenge now is to cope with the distance between me and my family. My dream is to go back to my country knowing that everything I have done so far will pay off. My scariest fear is to fail in life. My greatest hope is to have a good and healthy place to raise my children.
