this photo was taken by Alessio Mamo in Russia. These women are Syrian refugees, trying to escape the horrors their country is going though because of war. Life as a refugee must be pretty hard and we could be more empatic with these people. I´m pretty fortunate that i don´t have to inmigrate to another country because of the situation in it. It must be pretty hard, and even more if you have kids, like in this photo. We must always seek for peace, ´cause war brings death and more conflicts, nothing good comes from a war.

This is a little jewelry box my cousin gave to me as a souvenir from her Honduras trip. It is not offensive because they made this jewerly box as a souvenir and it is intended that tourists buy it and use it. This little box is made out of wood and was crafted in order to have a special shape and drawings.

I was given my name because my parents thought it was a strong and elegant name, they didn´t want to name me after anyone.

I like my name because it´s not that popular and also because i find large names so powerful and versatile.

My name is good fit for my personality because whenever i look for the characteristics or atributes the name has, i can identify myself.

Describe a time when someone made an assumption about you because of your name: I cannot remember someone making an assumption about me by my first name, but for my last name. People tend to ask me if i  am related to Marco Antonio Regil or Bárbara de Regil because we have the same last name..

Describe a time when your name affected your behavior. I used to dislike a lot being called by my complete name, i liked better Pau. Nowadays, i like it better to be called Paulina but everyone that knows me since i was little is already used to calling me by my nickname.
