All about me

My name is Blanca. I was born in January 19, 1992 on Quito, Ecuador. My parents are from Riobamba. When I was a little my parents got divorced, and they came to the United States separately. I have three brothers, two of them are my father,s sons and one is my mother,s son. Their names are Charlie, Steven, Paolo. I am the only daughter of my parents. In some cases I think that my parents got divorced because of me. Also I don't have that value to ask them why they got divorced. I wish they were still together. Sometimes I dream that we leave together and that we are very happy. I am so sad because I know that is very impossible that my mom and dad would be together. They have their own family so I have to be with their family, but I still love my mom and my father and also my brothers. They are so important for me because when I am sad they are with me. I grew up with my grandfather and my aunt.

When I was a little girl I felt lonely because I did not had a brother but in the other hand I felt happy because I was living with my grandfather. I always call him Daddy because he is like my father. I love him a lot. Also when I was little I used to call my aunt mommy, now I call her aunt but I still think that she is like my mom. Their names are Alejandro and Rosario. I have to thanks a lot to them because with them a lot of thing such as: to be respect full with the people that is older than me, to love my parents, and keep studying. They are very important for me. I live with them until I was seven years old. When I was seven i went to live with my cousin, her name is Graciela. In the time that I went to live with her she also has a baby. Her baby is like my own brother. I loved to be with him. he is so cute.
In Ecuador I study until eight grade. One day I promise to my daddy that I'm going to graduate from high school.When I went to the school they put me in six grade. Now I am in eleven grade. That is my best wish. When I was twelve I came to the United States, I was happy because it was then first time that I saw my mother and my father but also I was sad because I leave my daddy in Ecuador. Now I have to get use to it to live with my mother. I can.t accepted that my parents are divorced and also that I have to be with my father one day or one hour and with my mother the rest of the week. Sometimes I get desperate and I want be with my both parents. I miss my grandfather. I prefer to live with him because with him I don't live like that. I know that here we have all things, but I know too that these thing is not importance like the people that you love. In these four year I have learn a lot things, but I know that I can do it and I have to accept my life.

In my conclusion I know that a lot of teenagers leave in the same situation like me. Also I understand that if we trying to keep up we are going to surpass everything in our life. The only way that we can do this is to keep studying and to be something in the life. We also have to be strong and If we want that our parents to be proud we have to study and we have to graduated. That is what I want. I want my grandpa be proud of me.
