This post is overdue. Last week (7/14/17), I met with Mardioli for our first tutoring session. Coincidentally, Mardioli is Eduardo's wife! Like her children, she has flown Eduardo's planes too.
Mardioli wanted to focus on a presentation she was giving in speech class so that is what we did. Her presentation was about the need to live your life and continuing to reach for your dreams, even when presented with obstacles.
I learned that she had always wanted to study international law in Spain, but she had to put her dreams on hold when she met Eduardo and had her children. She said that she did not have any regrets, but that she did want to continue to follow her passion. It was very touching.
At the end of the session, we started talking about our own dreams and I told her about moving to Colombia and the reasons why I am going. She was very receptive and the talk reflected her presentation.
Great first meeting.
