Hello, my name is Marijana. I am a teacher. I teach mathematics and I have strong passion for this subject. In the past, I was actively involved in cycling and racing, but nowdays I ride it more recreationally. I'm proud mother of two children - my dother is 12 years old and my son is 7. I love reading and am particularly fond of literature. From time to time, I also enjoy writing poetry.

Hello, thanks for the topic.
I want to ask, what's to say to someone if I want to say "please move, I want to go?" without sounding rude?
Thank you!
