.
My name is Mary and I am 17 years old. I was born in Manchester (United Kingdom) within a seven children family. I was the youngest of the siblings and everybody loved and took care of me. I have always had plenty of room, toys and attention at home as we are a very big family. I started school when I was 6 and I had many friends that I still see regularly nowadays. Nowadays, I am in the 1st grade of non-compulsory secondary education and my goal is to continue my studies in order to study technology at undergraduate school and become a professional electronic technician. I have different hobbies such as playing the violin and reading science fiction books. I like both this as they help me escape from reality and transport me to other realities. I don't like doing sport at all ,but, sometimes, I go hiking with my fiends as my dream is reaching the peak of the Everest one day
