Introduction:
I was the first born child from my parents and they named me Paula Karine. Since I was born, I have had health problems such as asthmatic bronchitis, gastritis due to several medicines, sinusitis, allergies and rhinitis. In spite of all these, I was so happy in my childhood. I used to go to school two or three times a week, the others days I went to the doctors. I was the only child in my class who really liked school and thought it was a lot of fun.  I knew all the people in the hospital and clinics who always gave me colorful balloons, and candies. Mean while, I did weird medical examinations where you needed to enter into machines, like things to the future which made me remind of Jetsons’s cartoon. But not all was lucky, sometimes a lot of times actually, I used to spend two weeks in hospital because I was with a chronic pneumonia, and my parents were there for all this time with me. My mommy sometimes slept on a plastic chair, because it was not allowed in some hospitals for mothers to spend the night there. I also used to cry a lot because when I was in hospital I could not watch my favorite child’s TV shows after dinner, because the hospitals only allowed to watch television in recreation and meals rooms not in bedrooms. However, as my mom was there for me, I could get calm down.
Background
My parents are the best parents in the world, and gave me support in my darkest times. They took me to more different types of treatments; I did swimming for seven years. my mother bought a turtle, because someone told us that he should sleep under my bed in a pot which would help my health, I never walked without flip flops, I didn’t walk in to rain and never drink rain, and I couldn’t  taste  ice cream with ice, just melted ice cream. I went on faith healers, and medicine took very strange with all kinds of herbs which cost a fortune, also I went to many cities far away from Sao Paulo to consult with well-known doctors who did treatment with lasers and many others, all sorts of prescriptions. When, I was growing up, I was improving, and I always used to love keep me busy, I used to study, to do sports, to do ballet, to swim, play dates. In my high school, in Brazil, I did as tech high school and I choose business, I did my own business with my classmates, we did a jewelry company, and we sold all our own products on just two days, for all school, and I really had a fun and learning a lot of, with all my experiences, because, all my two years in this high school I did a lot of subjects, as theories and after all this I put into practice, I made it!! My parents always helped with everything, my mother use to go with me all schools and courses where I would like to study. She always encouraged me, and my daddy always paid a courses. After my high school, I did my college in business too, but between my teenager ages, I did logistics courses, computer courses, I wanted to be a web designer, and also learned about maintenance of computers, software programs, one day I really liked those things. And in college was not different from all the things I had opportunities to learn, or understand I signed up, I did actress courses, etc.
Professional Challenge
In the same time I started my college I did at night, I got it my first job, actually a week before. So I worked a lot of, I went for meetings, courses, lectures. I worked there for one year and half, I take after some vacations on my grandmother city, where I match my first love, ohhh so romantic, and teenager, but I my life on some part to have some romantic part..... But was over, after a month. When I was back, I got it a job in a newspaper. I don't know this happen with everybody, but I work with something I always want to study more about, in this period I would like to be journalist, but I was studying business and working, and sometimes had a fun with my friends, but this time I learned don't to lost my focus in my carrier and might with some boyfriend  for to help me with my career and my plans, don't for to stray my focus. I used to work a lot of in various departments, distribution, logistics, marketing, sales, advertising, finance, etc. I worked there for one year, and my department moved for other city I was almost to ending my college, I chose for looking for another job. I was thinking might to be this the opportunity for to get one job in one big company for to build my career, so after fifteen days I got it a job at Toyota Motors Company, and needed just six months to finish my college. I never had to suffer so much pressure in my life before; my first coordinator was like a witch, everybody in the company had to afraid about her. Because always she used to be rude, brave, just with the leaders and managers she used to be gentle, because it was convenient for her, I had never worked with such a person like her before I became very frightened, but my focus was work and I kept quiet listening all her rudeness of it and sometimes I feel so bad, but I thought it might be important to me, anyway for those who always want to be big must go through great suffering to learn. After three months, a manager move her for another department and everybody in my department was happy, in this time I did big friends there, I never had worked so much in my life before, and when I finished my college I used to work for long hours sometimes I used to work for sixteen hours in one day, Saturdays, because was time in my department for to have audits, I learned about maintenance of vehicles, overall quality that was already a matter that I loved in college, we had talks, and continuous monitoring, when I used to give some ideas, and to made reports in different ways my supervisor always complimented me and gave me new challenges, I loved learning new things, we had meetings of improvements every week. But after the audit, my department had the best score for the entire company, and I made it the best score in my department and was the younger person in my department, I was very happy, and I did a speech at the party in commemoration of audit. But after that my supervisor was promoted to manager, and my manager was promoted to director  and I was always kept in the same post, I started to think about, and to keep more attention to my surroundings and noticed that another friend, also had the same impression she was supervising the nine years and nobody moves her there. After think a lot about, to be moved for another department for new challenges, I decided to change my life, I did a lot of friends there, I used to work a lot, but I was thinking might I was so younger for think just about job, reports, goals, I decided to quit my job.
 
Personal Challenge
I worked there for two years, and did I lot of friends, I met my best friend there and nowadays, I am very healthy, after much stress at work. My parents are still very worried about me, but to prevent them from focusing a lot on my life, I am living a year in another country, away from them, eight hours by plane, to learn a new language and experiencing new cultures. and thinking a lot about what to do in the future, what I would like to do, have my own business. My parents did not like much of my decision to quit a job and go do an exchange, but I'm sure that today they are very proud of my decision.  They are the people I love most in life.  And they will always support me in everything I'll do. But we have to chart our path for ourselves, and learn from everything and offered us during our life, to make us better people. I am finishing my first year of exchange still got a lot to improve, to learn, to know,  I am not yet met the boyfriend who will support me in my career, but I'm still looking, and I intend to have my own business. I'm still learning ...
