About Me

..


Intro
Hi! I am Marcia Pontes. I was born in Recife, Brazil. When I was two years old, my family moved to the city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará, located at the northeast part of Brazil, a beautiful and tropical sunny place surrounded by palm trees, and exotic people. I had the best childhood one can imagine and made most of my friends there. I still remember the happy moments with nostalgia and fascination. I always think of my friends, and how we used to ride bicycles on the neighborhood, or spending Saturdays in my house just for fun! Some of those dear friends I still keep in touch. I studied at a private school, including Colégio Santa Cecília (high school), here in Fortaleza, Ceará. I studied English and Spanish at school because I always enjoyed getting to know about other cultures, places and people. During my childhood, I had the opportunity to take different dancing classes and styles. My favorite one was classic Ballet. I learned how dancing and exercising the body can improve one's well-being and develop a healthy life, allowing one to become a better person!

I became a Christian when I was 15. God is my source of strength and the main inspiration in my life. For many years, I have been touched deeply by the mistreatment and abuses suffered by so many people, so I have wanted to help others. Law school was my first choice, but recently, I decided to pursue medicine. Helping people to stay healthy is my goal and what makes me happy.I am a caring, genuine, soft person and a loyal friend. I try my best to make the absolute best of life. I am down-to-earth, I can be child-like at heart, but I try to cultivate a mature mind! I appreciate wisdom and faith in God. I believe in the importance of good communication and that the best of our human qualities are shown when we translate our feelings into a sense of humor, intelligence, kindness, and sincerity toward each other. I value friendship and I believe that true friends are like precious treasures. I enjoy my family and I like to be with them.
--------
I give you something to reflect upon:
To find a sincere friend is like finding a treasure, since is God the mediator.
Proverbs 14 - 1 : The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”

Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.(Augustine)
"God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the IMPOSSIBLE."(William Booth)
