Throughout my life, I have had several identities and I feel proud of them because thanks to

all of them I have learned to know and accept myself. I have become a woman of strong
character with unattainable strength but it has not been easy to walk this path called "life"
with all the adversities, social injustices, and environmental damages that I have witnessed
during my years of life.
However, to get to where I am, I feel fully confident that my mother and father, who always
accompanies me from heaven, were those superheroes who gave me all the tools to learn to
live in this "crystal society." The values that I have learned over time define me as values
that have taught me to be a better person and fight for all my dreams.

I still wonder: how could I balance my life? After going through disappointments,
depressions, and other people's guilt in my adolescence. I did not seek help from my family,
friends, or psychologists. I lived through dark moments in which with a smile I pretended that
I was fine but inside I was unrooted. Over the years my mentality changed and I began to
accept myself with how beautiful and how bad it was.

To become who I am today I have abandoned my emotional and social attachments in


search of something that would fill and make me find myself. It was not easy because I
decided to escape from my responsibilities, I abandoned my university studies because the
university career no longer made me happy, however, I never wanted to stop studying. It
was a strong sacrifice but it helped me find myself.

I hope to continue being a woman who strives to achieve dreams, I hope to continue being
happy without hurting the people I love. Above all, I hope to be a happy woman and help you
in this world that sometimes hurts so much.

The first image is about my last six years. I had them take it on one of the streets of
Washington DC at night, next to the water, smiling, dressed in my favorite colors, and
showing my long hair, which I have always had long and had an attachment to. the. Although
I showed myself with a smile, I really was a sorrowful woman for the life she was leading at
that time. I lost two people in my family, for the first time they broke my heart and I realized
that real life was not easy, that everything was not pink.

Why do the people we love the most die? Why aren't real men the princes of Disney
movies? why doesn't the government help the environment? Why do parents abandon and
mistreat their children? They were questions that I always asked myself and thinking like that
made me question the world. I was left without friends, my family told me that I was wrong,
that I had to improve, and that my way of thinking was not correct. I used to pretend with
smiles that I had a perfect life but when I entered my room I felt like the darkness clouded
my thoughts and I felt lost. Wearing "nice clothes" made me fit into a crystal society that I
began to be a part of and then, it was fashionable not to accept oneself, to have self-esteem
problems. If you are not skinny then it was not pretty. My question is: at what point did I stop
being a happy girl and grew up to become someone who does not love himself?
The second image is my favorite, my ideal self, my future self. I currently feel good about
myself. I found myself when I decided to travel to a new country and I am proud of it. In the
next ten years, I envision myself being an exemplary professional but being a good person
first. Currently, I am thinking about "how am I going to achieve my goals" so when I start to
execute my dreams I will focus on myself. I want to be a woman who contributes great ideas
to my work team but I also want to contribute my help to society. I want to know more
countries and walk the streets of a new continent or simply know a new town. In that image, I
see a self-confident woman, an imposing woman, a strong woman who, although she has
had moments of sadness, has also been someone who had many opportunities to be happy
and to do great things so I see emotional stability that It makes me believe in myself for
years to come.

My second self. I wish I was Cher Horowitz. The typical blonde teenager, rich, funny, with an
incredible taste for dress and makeup. She is a superficial, self-centered, and spoiled
woman but at the same time showing true empathy, kindness, and generosity. A sweet,
clueless, conceited and pampered, but intelligent and kind young girl who lives in a mansion
in Beverly Hills.

Clueless was a film that marked the style and fashion of that decade. It was precisely Cher
Horowitz, who became an icon of adolescent pop culture of the time that she left great
teachings, some of which are still valid today, and which are based on sustainability.

Cher is a popular girl at school; she often uses her social status and ability to help others.
This is something that I love about this character because although she is superficial she is a
woman who wants to help others, in some way it can be evidenced as the film progresses,
there is an intention of sustainability.

In frustrating moments I would like to be that bad girl par excellence. I have the concept of
present fashion but in real life, I don't have time to always be made up and well dressed. Nor
can I act cold because I have always been very sentimental.
