My name is Luz María Delfín, and I am 20 years old. My parents are Jacqueline and Luis Delfin. I have a sister named Vicky, who is 18, and a brother, Luis, who is 13. I also have a dog named Moxie... she is a crazy little Jack Russel Terrier, and is 2 years old. My family and I are originally from La Paz, Bolivia... the unknown jewel of South America. Now my family lives in the small town of Inverness, FL, which is somewhere between Tampa, Orlando, and Gainesville. I am currently living in Gainesville, while I attend the University of Florida. I am majoring in Elementary Education, and Minoring in Spanish. I would also minor in Art History and in Music, and major in Architecture as well, but as I am not superwoman and have no magic powers, I'll have to resign myself to my single minor in Español. In the meantime, I play the flute in the University of Florida Symphonic Band... a truly elite group of musicians; I am privaleged to have the opportunity to play with them. When I graduate, I hope to teach the third grade somewhere for a couple of years... and if all goes well, I will become an international teacher, and teach in Europe or in Latin America, and maybe settle down in La Paz eventually. But who knows, right? I can't plan too far ahead, for as the Spanish poet Antonio Machado says:

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.

Translation:

Traveler, your footsteps
are your path, and nothing more;
Traveler, there is no path,
the path is made as you walk.
As you walk you make a path,
and as you look back
you see the road you will never
set foot on again.
Traveler, there is no path,
only trails in the sea.

(Technically, "Caminante" means "Walker", but I didn't like how that sounded...this is corny, I know... I hate translations, but it's the best I could do... you gotta do what you gotta do)
