Elisa

Hello!! My name is Elisa and I am 21. I come from Padua, a beautiful city in the northwestern part of Italy. I like Padua, as it offers all the facilities a modern person needs, but at the same time it is a little city which still gives importance to true human relationships. I attend the third year of "Languages and Cultures" in Padua and study English and German. I also speak French and Spanish. I ave chosen studying foreign languages as I like the idea of being able to communicate with people coming from different parts of the world. Furthermore, I think that, in a multicultural society as ours is, languages are fundamental to find a good job and to integrate. I like literature too, and for this reason I am happy of my university choice, as my course offers an equilibrated mixture of language and literature. For what concerns me, I think I am a solar person. I like staying with people and especially enjoying with my friends. In these last years more than ever I feel the necessity to spend all my time with my mates. I like sunny days, fresh air and spring. I love spending my afternoons walking in the country, smelling the fragrance of the grass and the flowers, and filling my eyes with the brilliant colors of nature. Despite all I have written till now, I am not an extroversive person. I mean that I am joyful and open with the people I know, yet when I meet someone I do not know I often remain silent. Probably my shyness is a consequence of my deep insecurity and of my week self-confidence... Most of times I prefer remaining silent instead of cutting a bad figure or being the center of the attention. This side of me gives me an everlasting melancholy and a sense of dissatisfaction of what I am and what I do. Although I hate this sad feeling, I also have to thank it, as it gives me the opportunity to improve myself in order to show people the right side of me!
