Story Of My Life | Laura Perez

Posted by huma mustqeem on September 9th, 2018

My name is Laura Perez, I am 21 years old and I live in Venezuela.

I was born in a small town that over the years has become a small city. And I say small because practically everyone knows each other and/or is family. When I was born there were no cinemas or shopping centers. Now we have some shopping centers and a cinema. Nor is there much entertainment on the street since there are not many parks and not even a nearby beach. But in the end an afternoon with friends always resolves a day of boredom.

I grew up with a humble and conservative family. My parents taught me to constantly be a woman of values ​​and that was always something very important for me, so it is not very difficult for me to make friends or to like people. They also taught/forced me to be a good student. I was the best of my class during my entire baccalaureate. Thanks to my father, I developed a liking for solving logical-mathematical problems, so much so that I won 3rd place in an intercollegiate mathematics Olympics. I was in the math club, in the drawing and painting club, in athletics and in dance. My parents wanted an integral and exemplary daughter, and I did everything to make them proud of me. I have always been the best version of myself for them. Over the years, I also became an inveterate reader, spent all my afternoons after school reading the book of the week locked in my room. I read so much and learned so many things during those years that my conservative mentality was opening up to new things and my opinions became more liberal but with a base, which was my learning. Maybe that's when I started to have some disagreements with my family but in the end the ties that bind us are more important than anything else.
