Unit 26 Meet Deborah
Hi, my name is Deborah Garrell.
I'm a 20-year-old communications major
at New York University.
I love being at university.
I'm enjoying my courses
and I meet many new people every day.
It seems like a new adventure
and I love adventures.
I spent my childhood traveling
all over the world
and learning about different cultures.
You see, my father works for the World Bank
so our family has always moved around a lot.
I've lived in Mongolia,
East Timor, Brazil,
Nigeria, the Netherlands
and the United States.
The hardest part of growing up
was saying goodbye each time we had to move.
But I would always remind myself
that I would make new friends soon
and I always did.
I've learned not to be shy.
After leaving one place,
I would always email or call my old friends.
I would tell them about the new adventures I was having
and ask them about new things in their lives.
That is probably the reason
I chose to major in communications.
I like to keep in touch.
It's obvious that I love to travel, isn't it?
But I also enjoy dancing,
reading, going to the theater
and riding horses.
If you share any of these interests
and would like to learn more about me,
please let me know.
And if you have different interests,
I'll remind you,
I'm always looking for a new adventure.
