43. BIOGRAPHY OF MY MUM
By Paula R.
She was born in Santolaya and lived there until she was 12. She
has one sister who is 3 years older than her. When she was little,
she played with her friends in the village. With her father she
went every day to her grandparents' house who lived near her
house.
They had a dog called Troski a German shepherd, and they also
had chickens and rabbits that she used to play with. She also
went to pick apples and cherries and, in the spring, to see the birds'nests.
She went to school in the village until she was 8 years old, the children from all grades studied
together but the boys and girls were separated. She remembers that her teacher was
extremely strict and even hit the children if they behaved badly.
From the age of eight she came to Pola de Siero to school and high school, what she liked
most was reading and writing and she won some prizes for writing stories. She went to the
University of Oviedo and studied economics and when she finished, she did a master's degree
in financial and tax law. At the university she made many friends and that was where she met
my father. At the University she had a lot to study, but also during the weekend they went to
university parties.
As soon as she finished her degree she started working and
bought her first car, a Fiat one. Every summer she went
camping with her friends and they had a fun time. She liked
to play sports and go out into the mountains, and she still
does that.
She always worked as an accountant and when she went to
university, she gave private classes to children to earn money
with which she bought clothes and went on vacation in the
summer.
After many years of dating, she and my father got married and
went on their honeymoon to Costa Rica and there began her
passion for traveling. She has been to more than 25 countries,
for example, China, India, Guatemala, Mexico, Senegal,
Norway, Cuba. They travelled around the world for 12 years
until I was born and now, they travel to closer places with me.
During her travels she has learned about diverse cultures and
has also experienced adventures such as riding an elephant, fishing for piranhas in the
Amazon or climbing volcanoes, in addition to meeting people from other countries with
different customs and making friends.
She really likes the beach and the mountains, going for walks and playing sports.

BIOGRAPHY
Yaiza, my sister, was born on November 4 of 2003; she is currently 20 years old. She was
born in Oviedo and raised in Muncó, Siero, where she is still living with her family.
She started her early childhood education on 2006 at the age of almost 3 years old at the Peña
Careses School in Pola de Siero, where she attended school for 3 years. Then she went to the
Hermanos Arregui school to study primary education, where se met most of her nowadays
friends; she stayed at that school for 6 years and when she finished, she had to choose
between the two local high schools: IES Rio Nora and IES Escultor Juan de Villanueva.
Finally, she decided to go the IES Escultor Juan de Villanueva (mostly because all of her
friends went there and because of the good comunication with her village); at this high school
she attended all the 4 years of ESO and then she decided to continue her bachillerato studies
for 2 more years. In her last year of compulsory education she studied Latin, a subject she
liked so much that he decided to take the humanistic bachillerato, studying Latin, Ancient
Greek, Universal Literature, History and Art History for her last 2 years of high school. When
she finished her bachillerato studies she had to do the EBAU exam to go to college; she took
the exams of History, Enlish, Spanish, Latin and Art History. By the time the EBAU was
done and she had to choose a college degree she was very hesitant between History and
Hispanic Philology (both at the University of Oviedo), but she ended up choosing History,
since she always had loved that subject.
Nowadays she is on her third year of college, so she only has a year and a half left to finish
her History degree. This years she had to choose in area she wanted to specialized in (she
could choose between History of Asturias, Social and Cultural History and Research
Techniques and Methods), and she ended up choosing Social and Cultural History. Since she
started her degree she was very enthusiastic about the ancient history of Rome and gender
studies, so her future plans are to be able to do a PhD on motherhood in the Roman world (so
she one day can work as a researcher and university professor). In this very moment she is
doing her Bachelor's Thesis about wet nurses in the Roman Egypt.
