The world may think of me as just a pretty face, but little do they know what lies beneath the surface. My body is a map of scars - both physical and emotional. I have been through my fair share of struggles in life, from being bullied for being half white-half Brazilian to facing the harsh realities of growing up in a city that doesn't always accept diversity.

Despite all this, I've managed to maintain a positive outlook on life. My friends would describe me as bubbly and outgoing - always ready with a smile or a joke to lighten up any mood. But they'd also warn you about my sharp tongue and quick wit - don't mess with me unless you're prepared for the battle that's about to ensue.

But beneath all this bravado, I'm just a girl trying to find her place in the world. Sometimes it feels like I'm torn between two worlds - the one of my mother's culture, where family is everything, and the other of my father's world, which celebrates individuality above all else. It's a complicated dance, but I'm learning to navigate it one step at a time.
