My love for Rio started on a girl's holiday in the year 2006.It was love at first sight.Six months after returning to my hometown of London I decided to leave my job as a Board Director at a public relations (PR) company,packed up everything and moved here.
Unable to continue my profession of PR without the required language fluency,I fell into buying and selling properties (房產(chǎn)) while enjoying everything that Rio had to offer.One thing led to another and before long,I had become a property agent (代理商) and in 2010 set up In Town Property,which today is one of Rio's top property letting and buying companies.
I've always had a deep love for dance and I was immediately drawn to samba.I love its exciting rhythm (節(jié)奏),and the joy (喜悅) and freedom it offers.On arrival I decided it would be necessary to learn Portuguese but just as important would be samba.Within my first few months living here I had begun samba lessons.
In 2011 I paraded in the Rio Carnival festival for the first time.It was a wonderful experience.I'd never felt more happiness than singing loudly as I sambaed all the way down the street.Since then I have been in the parade every year.
Over the last years,I have had the opportunity to parade with some of Rio's top samba schools,such as Mocidade,Beija-Flor,and Império da Tijuca.In 2017 I had the great honor of dancing for Império da Tijuca on its first float (花車).It was an unbelievable experience!
I'm so passionate about this city,carnival and samba.They bring joy to the world and I want to share my love and experience with others.I think everyone needs a chance in life to live out their dreams and can't wait to bring this magic to you!

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
