  1. Hi all!
    It'a a very interesting speech.. and very motivating.
    I'll send you my four sentences about my life:

    - If I hadn’t met Antonio, I couldn’t have children.
    - If I hadn’t studied Computer Science, I could have been a flight attendant.
    - If I had studied in another country, I would have had new experiences and I could have learned very well English.
    - If I hadn’t worked in Altran, I wouldn’t have met my husband.

    Thanks! and Kisses..
