My name is Rita. I am 30 years old and I live in a small town near the coast. My family owns a fishing boat, and we have been in this business for generations. Growing up, I spent most of my time on the boat with my father, learning everything there was to know about fishing.
As I got older, I realized that I wanted more out of life than just being a fisherman's daughter. I knew that I had to leave home and explore the world beyond the small town where I grew up. So, when I turned 18, I moved to the city and enrolled in college.
At first, it was hard for me to adjust to the fast-paced life of the city. But I quickly found my feet and began to make friends with people from all walks of life. I even met my boyfriend, who is also a student at the same university as me. We have been together for two years now, and we are very happy together.
Despite loving the excitement of city life, I still feel drawn back to the sea. I try to come home every summer and help out on the family boat. It's my way of staying connected to my roots while still pursuing my dreams in the city.
