My Girlfriend, Maria Maria Herrera is a great person. She is a friend from school. She is also my girlfriend. I hope that we are going to be friends for a long time. Maria is 19 years old. She will be 20 in two months. She is about 5 feet, 3 inches tall. Her eyes are brown and her face is round. Her hair is brown and curly. She wears it long. She has a very pleasant smile and she always has a twinkle in her eye.She doesn’t wear glasses. She always looks nice. She wears dresses and skirts to school because she goes to work in a department store after class. She can’t wear jeans to work. Maria has a wonderful personality. She is a serious person, but she also likes to have a good time. She likes people and she likes parties. She doesn’t have much time for fun, but she is always ready for a party on Saturday night. Maria is very smart. She is a good student and she gets good grades.She knows a lot about politics and psychology. She likes to discuss these subjects, but she doesn’t make other people feel inferior. She is patient and kind. All of these qualities make her a good salesperson in the hat department at Maison Blanche. Plus, she is crazy about hats! Maria’s future plans are a little uncertain. However, she thinks that she is going to get bachelor’s degree in psychology. Then, perhaps she will go on to graduate school. I am sure that she will be successful. I also hope that she is going to include me in her future plans.
