Hi, my name is Gladys David from the home of amazing beaches, non other than the Philippines. It’s situated in the southeast Asia. I was born and raised there in a province which is an hour away from Manila, the capital.

I’m a nurse by profession…
with a title and license but not by experience. After graduating from college, due to the necessity to send my sister to college I had to work in an American company to earn what could be sufficient to support her studies.

I worked as a medical transcriptionist…
mainly over the phone jobs. I was assigned to different departments including sales, tech support, business field etc. Having to achieved to be the 2nd top among hundreds of employees of the year. I was promoted as a resolution development specialist. And have handled escalated calls directly from the office of the president of a multinational billionaire company. There I was able to enhanced my communication skills and had the opportunity to deal with different cultures.

Years then after…
I realized I wanted a big change in my life which prompted me to learn Spanish to be able to work as a bilingual in my dream company which is the world’s largest searching site.

I was lucky enough…
to get accepted here in Spain as a language auxiliar by the Spanish ministry of Education. While taking advantage of the opportunity of traveling I’m still on track of my main goal why I came here in the first place. I currently work in Ceip Jose Calvo Sotelo, a primary school in Madrid. And I live just 2 stations away from the school by metro (subway). I study in Centro Socio Cultural situated in Usera. And I’m about to enrol in Escuela Oficial de Idiomas.
Welcome to my first ever Blog and highlights of the best year of my life! I hope you enjoy it.
