Task 1 : Me, Gabriella Alodia

Me? Such a complicated person, with so many interests that has no focus yet. First thing, I love my name, Gabriella Alodia. My parents gave me that name because they loved Gabriella Sabatini, a female tennis player from Argentina, while Alodia was given by my grandfather after he read a book about names. He found that it was a really great name for me and my parents thought that it was beautiful.
I amazed that my name is quite a describe for things that I love and how I think about life. Just like Gabriella Sabatini, I love sports. Well, I don't really like field sports like tennis, basketball, badminton, etc. I prefer outdoor-adventural sports because it gave me great experiences like bright starry nights, fresh air, and great views to enjoy. It also gave me friends for life, because in this kind of sport, we have to rely on each others. That's why I choose geology as my major subject in this institute, I love nature and I would like to learn much more about it. Then about Alodia, simply, it means "rich." Maybe that's why I have a big ego. Not that I'm so self-centered, I always think that actually rich people could change the world because they have just the thing that is so important for people who have original ideas. Unfortunately, sometimes people with ideas don't have that much money to actualize their brilliant ideas. So, if you ask about my aspire, I would simply answer that I want to be a rich person, so that I could contribute money for my friends' ideas in the future. I love photography, cinematography, music, reading books, and sometimes history. I believe those kind of things will always change the world, because every little thing in this world needs media to deliver new inventions and again, ideas. About history, I love it because it will always be a part of this big, big world, and I want to be a part of it. It's kind of funny to figure out that all of those things (photography, etc.), needs money.
That's who I am, Gabriella Alodia. A girl who loves adventures, media, and aspires to be a rich person.
