My Elevator Pitch

Hello Mr. Principal,
My name is Christopher Ferreira. I'm 22 years old and I study Economics. I'm a very hardworking student and very determined in everything I do, EVERYTHING. I have a good personality and I'm very reliable. I'm very attentive to opportunities and I don't waste any of them. I came from a family with little money and most of the time I had to look after opportunities by myself. Thanks to that, I was able to conquer good education studying in a private school on scholarship, getting my high school and college costs covered by the government. I'd love to study abroad for at least six months!
