Ibanez,+Glenn+Alex



The first time I went to the United States was in 1981 as an exchange student in California where I lived with an American family for a year. After finishing my Bachelors degree in English as a foreign language, I joined the Amity program working at the university of Wisconsin-La Crosse from 1989-1990. It was a rewarding experience and I had a lot of fun. It is incredible since it seems it was yesterday. Sharing a house with other international professionals was amazing because everyone of us had something to say about our cultures. Of course, at the end of the term, we were all sad to separate from each other. I lost track of some of them. Alain, my friend from France is still in touch. He is the sort of person who likes to work in exotic places. He is currently working down in Mali. For 18 years, I have been working as an English Teacher in private schools, working with teens has been fun as well as demanding. Not too long ago, I joined an MBA program in Spain and I got a Masters degree in Management of Human Resources. At the moment, I’m pursuing an M.A. in Education. I work part time teaching and some other duties for a Gold Mining company. Combining business and education has been a very attractive experience. It is going to be difficult to stop teaching in high school, but I may soon make a decision about working in higher education. Well, we are not so young anymore. I am not married yet, but I have two children, a daughter who is 16 and my son 7. My partner Elizabeth has been my great support. We have been together for almost three years. We hope to get married in the short term. My hobbies have changed, too. I used to play basketball a lot, however, that passion is gone. Tennis has been my passion in the last few years. I’m still playing the guitar and singing. That’s for the spirit.
