COLOMBIAN AU PAIR SEARCHING FOR A GERMAN HOST FAMILY
My name is Mariana Farfán. I am 18 years old and I live in the capital city of Colombia: Bogotá. I am currently coursing senior year at Saint George'es School and it is my dream to become an au pair as soon as I graduate in June 2018.

I live with my parents, my brother and my dog. My parents, María and Jorge, are exceptionally loving parents and remarkably hard-working lawyers and my older brother, Abraham, is studying Economics and Philosophy at Andes University.

My mother language is Spanish and I'm fluent in English and French. My school's first language is English thus most of the classes that I take are taught in English. I've been taking French since middle school but due to my interest in becoming fluent I have taken classes online to improve my level. German, on the other hand, is not a language that I've been taught at school and I started learning it until quite recently. Consequently, I am still at a basic level but as I've become more familiar with it my interest in becoming fluent has kept increasing hence I expect to learn a lot by being an au pair in Germany.
I believe the words that describe myself best are passionate and curious. Both of these have allowed me to develop numerous interest and to chase various passions. The various activities I've engaged in as a result have allowed me to have incredible experiences, to learn things I wouldn't have otherwise learned and to continue opening my mind.

In regards to my education, I was raised in an extremely loving and supporting environment. I have a very close relationship with my parents and consequently I have built my character around their values - which I'm extremely proud of. Respect, honesty, perseverance and hard-work are some of the most important values at home and the principles that guide my path in life. At school, I have been taught the importance of discipline, hard-work, perseverance, excellence and curiosity. Saint George's School, as a result of being one of Colombia's top schools, the academic workload is extremely heavy so I've become remarkably organized as well.

My experience with children has been based mostly around school activities such as theater, basketball and houses - the school has installed a houses competition system similar to the one in Harry Potter's books so we compete in different artistic areas throughout the entire school year since primary school.
On one hand, in the basketball team a "little sister" (student from primary school) was assigned to me in Sophomore year and my duty is to mentor her until the end of my senior year. Learning about teamwork, perseverance, discipline, sacrifice and friendship with her has been a beautiful experience and we continue to learn new things together everyday. On the other hand, theater has allowed me to share artistic spaces with children from all ages and to accompany them through their learning process. Theater is an extremely challenging activity, and it is peculiarly hard for children at first - before they free their bodies and personalities to be able to feel comfortable at stage. Last December the school's musical was presented for the first time in one of Colombia's most prestigious theater, which was indeed a scary challenge for everyone that participated. As the director of the musical, I feel extremely proud of the personal growth and the progress that each person experienced - in particular the young kids - and it was undoubtedly the most rewarding moment of my life to see how it turned out. Similarly in houses competitions I've had the opportunity of mentoring kids from all ages, especially during junior and senior year that I was in charge of leading nearly every competition. Art is a beautiful way to bond with people, and in my case it has allowed me to leave a footprint in the learning processes of many children and nothing makes me more proud. The last space in which I've had the opportunity of sharing time with children is not through a school-related activity. I have been volunteering for approximately 2 years in a NGO that works in some of the most dangerous, vulnerable and poor neighborhoods in Bogotá. As a volunteer I've engaged in several activities, but my favorite and the one I find most challenging and rewarding is teaching children living in these places about the environment and values such as respect and honesty. It is indeed a difficult task, yet my favorite because of the potential impact that it has on these kids.

As i mentioned before, I have numerous interest and passions but I definitely feel that the environment, nature and animals is what makes me the happiest and what motivates me the most. I love every aspect of learning and teaching about the environment and about being in nature and as a result I've always engaged in every possible activity regarding the environment. Additionally, music and theater constitute a very important part of my life since I've been studying music for nearly 8 years and theater for 4. Moreover, I practice sports daily, I love learning, reading, watching films, travelling, singing, cooking and writing. I am always eager to learn and to continue expanding the horizons of my mind.
There are two main reasons why I want to become an au pair. The first one is, of course, to experience living abroad by myself and the second one is to make part of the learning processes of children and to be able to impact their lives in a really positive way.

Living in another country without any family or friends is indeed very a scary and exciting experience but one that I'm eager to have. I hope immerse myself into a fascinating culture, to learn a new language, to travel and explore a ton, to learn a lot of different things, to meet new people, to grow as a person, to build a beautiful relationship with a foreign family and to come back home knowing that I have a second family in another part of the world.

Also, as I previously mentioned, mentoring, teaching and making part of the learning processes of children is something that I'm truly passionate about and that I hope to do as an au pair. I want to light up that curiosity and passion for learning that we all have in the hearts of my host children so that they become eager about learning and about having fun while learning. I want them to build beautiful memories of our time together and I hope to be able to share my culture and values with them.

Finally, I hope that my relationship with my host family is one based on trust and respect. My aim is that my host family feels confident that the children are absolutely safe and happy with me. I will make my best effort to behave impeccably, to work hard and to make the entire family feel comfortable around me. In regards to respect, I believe of utmost importance to not interfere with the raising philosophy and methods of the host parents as I find it inappropriate. Thus, I hope to be able to achieve my expectations always keeping in mind the importance of respecting the family, their opinions and their customs.
