I used to hate vegetables; i didn’t like its flavour. Also I was skinny because in
general I didn’t eat too much food, so a leave all the portion in my plate and my
parents always fight with me, making me eat more food. Now I eat normally but I
still avoiding some vegetables.

I used to have shorter hair, my grandmother always cut off. My grandmother says
that i looked better with shorter hair but I didn’t trust her so when i grow up just
leaves my hair long and now i cut myself, I use long hair now.

I used to play with barbies, i loved make its clothes and houses, I like play with
my friends and have too much dolls and clothes for them, create their stories of
life, i used to have too much imagination since I was a little girl I was so creative.
