People and Work
Unit 26 Meet Debra
W: Hi! My name is Debra Gar el. Im a 20- year-old communications major at New York
University. I love being at university. Im enjoying my courses and I meet many new people every
day. It seems like a new adventure, and I love
adventures!
I spent my childhood traveling al over the world and learning about dif erent cultures. You
see, my father works for the World Bank, so our
family has always moved around a lot. Ive lived
in Mongolia, East Timor, Brazil, Nigeria, the Netherlands, and the United States. The hardest
part of growing up was saying goodbye each
time we had to move. But I would always
remind myself that I would make new friends
soon, and I always did. Ive learned not to be
shy!
After leaving one place, I would always email or cal my old friends. I would tel them about
the new adventures I was having, and ask them
about new things in their lives. That is probably
the reason I chose to major in communications.
I like to keep in touch.
Its obvious that I love to travel, isnt it? But
I also enjoy dancing, reading, going to the theater, and riding horses. If you share any of these
interests and would like to learn more about me, please let me know. And if you have different
interests, Il remind you: Im always looking for a new adventure!
