CASA in Piedecuesta in 2012. Currently, Luis is an Accounting and Finance intern at a company and

Silvia is a bookkeeper and has her own company. Luis works downtown Bucaramanga but lives in

Floridablanca and Silvia works from home in Piedecuesta. Luis takes longer than Silvia to get to his

job because of all the traffic jams, Silvia just stays at home. However, Silvia’s job is more stressful

than Luis’ because she has to take care of everything and has more responsibilities, she doesn’t

have assistants.

Both Luis and Silvia have to wake up early but Luis has to wake up earlier than Silvia because he

has to be at work by 7 am. Luis’ workplace is bigger than Silvia’s, so Luis is more active than her, he

moves around a lot. Luis is one of the best workers in the company, that’s why he has bigger

challenges than his coworkers. Silvia’s company is one of the best bookkeeping companies in

Piedecuesta but it is the cheapest. They’re both really good at what they do.
