About Me

Hi, my name is Nair Calderon. I 'm from Brazil, I speak Portuguese and I came to New York five years ago.In my country I worked in a University Hospital SuI Fluminense. I operated Mammographies. I worked once a week, but 24 hours. I started to work at 8 AM on Thursday and finished Friday 8 PM. I spent five days at home together with my daughter, helping her with her homework, sometimes on the weekend I went shopping, or went to the beach, theater, disco, etc.

Today I live in New York City. I'm a home attendant. This is a hard job, and the work is heavy, but I need this job, Everybody needs a job. Now I have English classes four times a week and a computer class too. This is good for me. Because now I have made more friends from different cultures, I am learning languages and tasting different foods, I need to improve my English so that I will improve my life in the future. I plan to so study LPN (License Pratice Nurse) because it takes only one year of study to get it. After that, I will continue my education and learn to be a radiologist technician. I like operating Mammography. I hope my dream will come true.
