I’m an American citizen but when I was 6 months my parents decided to move to a country in western Europe called Portugal. Normally people know my country as a vacation destination due to the amazing beaches, delicious foods and great sightseeing like the museums, the castles and the churches who are full of history. I’ve had an amazing childhood not just because of my family and friends but also because Portugal is one of the safest countrys in the world and Lisbon (the capital and where I lived) is a really good city in matters of crime, so when I was starting to get older my parents would let me go downtown with my friends. That is why moving to Amherst was a really big change for me, I moved countries and I moved “alone” meaning I moved without my parents. Don’t get me wrong, most of my family is here in the US and I’m living with my uncle and aunt but it’s always difficult to move alone.

Back in Portugal I have a dog named Balu and he now stepped into the role of only child ahahaha… In the picture it looks like he doesn’t like me but he LOVES me!

Most of the things I enjoy is probably what every single teenager likes. I enjoy long walks but the beach with my parents and my dog, I like going to the movies, hanging out with friends and the thing that I enjoy the most is cooking. I don’t know what it is but I really like being in my thoughts and simply cook.

For my future I plan to do the same thing that my parents did when they’re my age, finish high school (i’m a senior, so graduate this year), go to college and then go to Harvard law school. After that I plan to get a job in downtown Boston and live there.
