I grew up in a family of 4 boys -one brother and 3 cousins-, so my uncle Antonio treated me like one of the guys.<br />I danced for 13 years, competed in aerobics choreography, and ran track at the marathon level for 7 years in my home land, Venezuela.<br />In 1991, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts (Sport Journalist) from the Universidad del Zulia (LUZ). I came to the United States in 1996 to advance my degree in Journalism to pursue a Master Degree. While planning my way through school, I found a passion for teaching when I started substituting for the Houston Independent School District. Following my heart, I changed my curriculum from Journalism to Elementary Education. I attended Saint Thomas University to pursue a greater cause, structuring our youth for a better future. I have been a teacher for 7 years.<br />Three years ago my lifestyle changed. When I was visiting my family in Maracaibo, I was initiated to a new challenge: bodybuilding. <br />Since 2004 I started to walk a path filled with sacrifices as well as satisfactions. I know what it takes to be a winner, but I love every minute of it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4339919412840696894-7603000634526607890?l=hotandrippedbodies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maria Carolinanoreply@blogger.com0
