My Future Goals

by Barbara Yunnuen Cervantes

My goal is to be a nail artist and learn English. I’m taking some English classes and different nail techniques classes.

Next, I want to get a nail technician certificate and improve my English. Then I will open a work portfolio for the customers. I love this job because I can be creative, different, and show my artistic side. After that I want to open a nail studio with a work team. I like this because I like working in a team and it is outside my comfort zone.

Around 7 years I’ve been away from my home country. I love and miss my country.
