Andrea Rivera

Hi! My name is Andrea, I´m 14 years old, I´m tall and thing. I´ve got a long brown hair and brown eyes.My friends say I´m very friendly and aventurous girl. I live in Seville with my parents and my sister, Paula. My sister is older than me, she is sixteen years old, she used to study in this school but last year she changed to San Francisco de Paula school.

I am still studing in Sagrado Corazón, Las Esclavas school. I study 3º of ESO and I have a lot of friends in my school, well, my best friends.

I like my school because we do a lot of extra antivities and because is a religious school and this is very important for me.

Seville is a very good city with its traditional festivals like Holy Week, The Feria of Seville and this both festivals are known all around the world .

I live in the centre of Seville , in a big old house with four floors but we only used three of them, my family owns an old traditional bar.

The Holy Week is important and special for me because I belong to a brotherhood called Pasión since last year, this brotherhood belongs to Salvador Church and in this church my parents got married and my father, my sister and I were baptized. Pasión goes out every Holy Thursday at 8 pm and runs Seville centre and passes by the Cathedral and finishes in Salvador Chruch at to 12 pm.

In this brotherhood you can see NUESTRO PADRE JESÚS DE LA PASIÓN and NUESTRA MADRE Y SEÑORA DE LA MERCED.

We are around 5.000 Nazareths and penitents if you want to join this brotherhood you have to be 14 years old. Nazareths dress with a black tunic with a shield and an esparto sash and a capirote cobering your head but the penitents don´t use capirotes.

I love surfing on the beaches of Cadiz with my family.
Every summer I return to Cadiz to see my friends and do what I like, surfing.
I began to surf two years ago when I was on the beach and my parents encouraged me to try, after a while I liked it so much and I do not want to quit.
This winter I am going to go to Cadiz to see my surf teacher and practising and learning new tecnics.
