One of the most important aspects in my life is my family, they mean everything for me. The first people who saw me arrived to this world were my parents, Jose Luis and Maria Del Consuelo. I am so proud of them because of the love they give me and the incredible things that they have done for me. Furthermore my siblings are part of me too. Rafael was the next one after me; I enjoy being with him we have a great relation we are like friends. Andrea is the third one among my siblings and me. I have a close relation with her, although sometimes she gets angry because I bother her. My little sister is Mariana, the relationship between my sister and me is good, but sometimes she does not spend time with me because I joke with her, and she does not like that aspect of me. My dog belongs to my life too, its name is Pelucas, and I usually play with it in my free time. My family is very important for me, and I enjoy being with them, because I love them.



Every person has strengths and weaknesses, for that reason part of my personality will be written in the next lines. One of the strengths that characterize me, it is my friendliness. People who know me, describe me as a person who knows hear carefully to other and give good advices. In addition I try to be a good friend supporting my friends when they need me, they know that I will always be there for them. Patience is a word that describes me very well, for that reason it is another of my strengths. I am always tolerant with people; I try to understand them. Weaknesses in me are so notorious. The first weakness is my insecurity, and I am working on disappear it. That happens to me because I am always thinking about what people could say or think about me. Also my weak character is part of me. I show weakness when I have to say something or defend myself, but I do not say anything, because I get nervous, and sometimes people take advantage of that. Although I have good strengths in my life, weaknesses are part of me and are part of my personality.

Besides I like to listen  to pop and R&B music, I usually listen to Rihanna, Lily Allen, Belanova, Playa Limbo, etc. Although in this time of my life I do not do any sport, I feel good doing exercise. I love to dance, all kind of music, except duranguense music. The last and the most important thing that I enjoy, it is spending time with my family it does not matter where we go, or what we do, we always have good moments together. On the other hand I have dislikes too. I hate to get up early, because then I get angry. Also I do not like to read, even though I know that it is really important to read. I detest to go to the grocery store when it is sunny, because then I get a headache. Those likes and dislikes are the ones that describe me very well.


To conclude, I know that I am not a perfect person I have strengths and weaknesses, but my family make me feel comfortable, I really love my life. I am so thankful with God, for the things that He gives me, the excellent family that I have and for the person that I am, because I have the essential to live, and I do not need anything, although there are aspects of me that I do not like.
